Palacio Postal
Look closely at an elaborate working post office whose stone façade and ornamental staircase make a compact architecture stop beside the city's major art museums.
The Palacio Postal turns an everyday public service into a statement of national ambition. Its mixture of architectural styles and decorative metalwork makes more sense when understood as an early twentieth-century showpiece. Notice the scale of the public hall, then compare it with the quieter streets around Tacuba and Bellas Artes.
