Correo de Carmelitas, National historical monument in Cathedral Parish, Caracas, Venezuela
The Correo de Carmelitas stands at the intersection of Avenida Urdaneta and Carmelitas street, featuring a Gothic facade added during its 1932 renovation.
Originally built in 1781 as Count Martin de Tovar's residence, the building later served as a presidential residence from 1860 to 1861 under Manuel Felipe de Tovar.
The structure received visits from notable figures including Alexander von Humboldt and Simon Bolivar, marking its role in Venezuelan intellectual history.
The building maintained several original features after its modification, including stone staircases and walls, while adding a third floor and new windows.
Following its reconstruction, the building became Caracas's main post office headquarters, leading to its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1984.
