MEXICO ~ Postal Palace - Mexico City ~

... Stunning interior view of a still working post office... a wonderful place for sending mail... always a great pleasure for a postcard collector to see where it was sent from👍... at the time it was built, this majestic colonial building served as the flagship of Mexico’s brand new mail service, and it was here that the very first Mexican stamp was ever issued... an Art Deco styling interior with "golden ornate" structural parts all around... most prominently is the "grand staircase" and "quite a breathtaking" ornate features on all the structures around the staircase to see straight upward from the bottom... not to be missed is the postal museum in one of the rooms with "classic stamps" and some old pieces of postal equipment on display... Thanks once more Diego! (✿◠‿◠)  P.S. I'm sorry but I can't send you a postcard in return because I'm struggling reading your handwriting🙄... not sure about your address or email...  

Palacio Postal often referred to as Correo Mayor had its first stone placed in 1902, though the building ultimately took five years to complete.

Despite regular earthquakes (including a major one in 1985 which caused damage requiring no small amount of restoration to the historic building), Palacio Postal has been in continuous operation since its opening day in 1907.
