Palacio Postal
Palacio de Correos de México
An early-20th-century main post office that still operates, with a Venetian Gothic facade and a grand staircase of gold, bronze and iron that dazzles visitors.
Completed in 1907 and designed by an Italian architect, it blends Venetian Gothic, Plateresque and Art Nouveau styles. In the central courtyard, the grand staircase of bronze and cast iron, the gold window frames and the marble floors gleam in the light, making it one of the city's most photogenic interiors. The ground floor is still a working post office where you can send postcards, and upstairs is the Naval History Museum. Admission is free. Open Monday to Friday from about 8:00 to 19:00, with shorter hours on weekends. Located directly opposite the Palacio de Bellas Artes.
