Central Post Office Building, Heritage administrative building on Jaffa Street, Jerusalem, Israel

The Central Post Office Building features limestone walls, arched windows, and symmetrical facades that characterize the architectural style of 1930s Jerusalem.

Architect Austen Harrison completed this British Mandate period structure in 1935 at a construction cost of 120,000 British pounds.

The main hall contains a substantial mural created by Israeli artist Avraham Ofek that represents the evolution of postal communications.

Located at Jaffa Street 23, this building functions as the headquarters of Israel Postal Company, processing over 2 million items daily.

Every year, the post office collects thousands of letters addressed to God and transfers them to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
