From the pedestrianised area and the fountain to the buildings encircling it, València’s Plaza del Ayuntamiento has a lot of attractions. One of the most impressive buildings on the plaza is Edifici de Correus, the Post Office, which is also known as València’s Communications Palace.

The Post Office has four floors covering a total surface area of over 9,400 m². It is listed a Site of Local Importance and was the headquarters of València’s Post and Telegraph Office for many years. Nowadays, the building is open to visitors: we recommend you come for an explore to see each and every detail.

València’s old Post Office was built between 1915 and 1922 by the architect Miguel Ángel Navarro Pérez. His eclectic French style combines with elements of Valencian Art Nouveau to spectacular effect. The façade is decorated with allegorical figures symbolising the progress of postal communication in addition to the five continents that reflect the importance of international connectivity.

The metal tower is one of the most recognisable parts of the Communications Palace. Once you step foot in the building, look up to see the great stained-glass window designed by the Maumegean brothers. It has over 300 panels and the coats of arms of the 48 provinces in Spain.
