Casa de Correus i Telègrafs, Post office building in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.

The Casa de Correus i Telègrafs spans an entire city block with four facades and features a columned entrance porch adorned with sculptural elements.

Architects Josep Goday i Casals and Jaume Torres i Grau designed the building in 1914, with construction completed between 1926 and 1928 for the International Exposition.

The exterior decorations include works by sculptors Pere Jou, Manuel Fuxà, and Eusebi Arnau, with allegorical figures representing communication themes.

The central post office headquarters occupies multiple floors, including a semi-basement, two main levels, an attic, and an accessible rooftop terrace.

Three circular towers rise above the cornice line, connecting to an annex building through a high bridge designed by architect Roberto Oms Gracia.
