Casa de Correus i Telègrafs, Post office building in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.
This post office building spans an entire city block with four facades and a columned entrance porch. Inside, it contains a basement level, two main floors, an attic, and a terrace that visitors can access.
The building was designed in 1914 by architects Josep Goday i Casals and Jaume Torres i Grau for the International Exposition. Construction took place between 1926 and 1928, establishing it as the main postal headquarters.
The exterior walls display sculptural decorations that represent themes of communication and connection. These artistic details were created by local sculptors and remain visible to anyone passing through the quarter.
The building occupies a central location in the Gothic Quarter and is easy to spot. Access to the rooftop terrace provides views of the surrounding neighborhood.
Three circular towers rise above the roofline and connect this building to an adjacent structure through a high bridge. This distinctive feature makes the building recognizable from different vantage points in the quarter.
