What awaits you at the Postal Palace
This palace was built more than 100 years ago; exactly in 1907. Also known as Quinta Casa de Correos, the building presents an eclectic architecture that fuses materials such as marble, quarry and ironwork. Besides being a combination of gothic and art nouveau styles.
It was designed by engineer Gonzalo Garita y Frontera (Mexican) in collaboration with architect Adamo Boari (Italian). This fusion of cultures and styles can be seen reflected in the finishes and details of the palace.
It was not until 1920 that the site was converted into a museum it is worth remembering that it used to function as a postal administration. Currently there are permanent and temporary exhibitions related to the mail in Mexico and around the world.
