Central Post Office, Phnom Penh, French colonial post office in central district, Cambodia.
The yellow Central Post Office building features Roman arch windows, columns with Corinthian capitals, balconies with balustrades, and decorative stone elements.
French architect Daniel Fabre designed this postal administrative building in 1895 as part of the new French district development initiative in Phnom Penh.
The building represents the integration of European neo-classical architecture into Southeast Asian urban landscape during the French protectorate period.
The two-story structure maintains regular postal operations on the ground floor, while administrative offices occupy the upper level.
In the 1940s, the original central cupola tower was removed and replaced with an array of loudspeakers that remain visible today.
