The century-old post office - Mexico City Central Post Office

Across from the Palace of Fine Arts, passing by a building, seeing the interior decoration has a palace art atmosphere, I found out that it was the Mexico City Central Post Office. It was built in the early 20th century and is an Italian-style palace building. The facade of the beige stone building is typical Baroque columns. And the windows around have been carved and decorated. As soon as you walk through the door, you can see the old staircase glittering. It is said that it was customized in Florence, Italy. A small Mexican Postal Museum has been set up in the building, shooting the facilities and development history of the postal service at various times. A hall inside is exhibiting Mexican stamps issued at various times. After the information age changed the means of communication, the post office, which has been the information center for hundreds of years, is gradually being marginalized and gradually withdrawing from the historical stage. But in Mexico City, a large-scale old post office with a history of five hundred years, crowned as the "National Post Office", is still open to welcome guests. In the modern city, it is repeating yesterday's story unchanged. Sending letters, receiving parcels, sending telegrams, making long-distance calls - it wants to retain the constantly breaking history in a traditional and seemingly pedantic way. This century-old post office is still in operation.
