.... Great view of the beautiful and grand interior of this still working postoffice.... a well preserved French colonial building with all the by-gone architectural features.... when you come into this place, you can see the dome roof covering the whole length... above the international telephone booths near the entrance there are two large handpainted maps... a good place to see how a post office was run in the old days...the postmasters are still using old methods to send letters ✉... the whole inside is overlooked by a giant picture portrait of Ho Chi Minh President... unfortunately in Belgium the price of stamps will also increase next year... again😢... like almost every yearðŸ˜... Thanks a lot Jobbo!【ツ】

The Saigon Central Post Office was constructed from 1886-1891 and depicts classic elements of Gothic, Renaissance and French colonial design. While some mistakenly credit Gustave Eiffel, the famed designer of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it was actually designed by French architect Alfred Foulhoux.
