Central post office in Douala, Government post office in Bonanjo district, Douala, Cameroon.

The Central Post Office in Douala is a horizontal building with a beige facade stretching along Place du Gouvernement, featuring vertical sunshades in yellow and blue. The structure displays mid-20th century architectural characteristics typical of its era.

The building was designed in 1950 by French architects during the period when Cameroon was under French colonial rule. It was created at a time when Douala served as a major administrative center for the colonial government.

The building's name, Poste centrale de Douala, marks it as the city's main postal office, and it still serves that function in Bonanjo. Its facade, painted yellow and blue, is the detail residents use to place it in the administrative quarter.

The building is located in the central business district of Bonanjo and is easily accessible on foot from major traffic hubs. The spacious plaza in front provides room for movement and is generally accessible during daytime hours.

The architect Henri-Jean Calsat, who designed the building in 1950, was a specialist in tropical architecture; the large vertical fins on the main facade act as brise-soleil, shielding the glazed openings of the postal halls from direct sun. The facade is now painted yellow and blue.
