Information

Communication architecture from the 20th century. Post office with a characteristic characteristic of the post-war modern movement as a regional variant. In contrast to a building with a traditional 'platibanda', the architect has opted for a 'folded platibanda'.

The positive opinion of the Directorate of National Monuments Services (DSMN) of the DGEMN from 1947 was signed by the director of the service and indicates that he is 'fully satisfied with the study of facades that are simple and well balanced', but the recommendation to its author was to 'balance the main facade and the right lateral forward body like the stonework corners'
