General Post Office

About

The General Post Office is a preeminent public building, defining the boundary of the city’s main public square. It is built in concrete, a modern material at the time, but followed a neoclassical and eclectic architecture language with great emphasis on the detailing of the main entrance lined with classical columns and topped by a bell tower. The project and construction lasted for a decade with several authors and adaptions, having grown from two to three-stories. Designed to highlight the institution, it retains its traditional central role until the present day.
