Grattacielo delle Poste, Administrative building in EUR district, Rome, Italy.

The Grattacielo delle Poste was built between 1969 and 1976 to a design by Pietro Ferri, Leonardo Foderà, Mario Paniconi, Giulio Pediconi and Luigi Vagnetti, with Giorgio Biuso as structural engineer. It rose at the edge of the EUR district, between via Cristoforo Colombo, viale America and viale Europa, and now houses the registered office of Poste Italiane.
The building's official name is Grattacielo delle Poste, but Romans also call it Torre del Ministero delle Poste, Palazzo delle Poste or Torri delle Poste. It houses the registered office of Poste Italiane, the national postal service, so the postal company's headquarters occupy a tower in the EUR business district rather than a historic palace.
The building sits between Via Cristoforo Colombo, Viale America, and Viale Europa in Rome's EUR district. Its central location makes it easy to reach by public transport, and parking is available nearby.
The Greek cross plan is not visible from street level: the four arms of the tower only read clearly on the facade facing viale Europa, where the building's full height shows. The legal headquarters of Poste Italiane has occupied the tower since its completion in 1976.
