Central Post Office Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
It was originally built as the first residence in Santiago, the private residence of the Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valtivia. During the colonial period, it was the residence of successive governors. From Chile's independence in 1810 to 1846, it was the presidential residence; after 1846, the government office and the presidential residence were moved to LaMoneda Palace, the presidential palace. The building caught fire shortly thereafter, but several walls survived the disaster and still stand. It was converted into a neoclassical building in 1882 by architect Ricardo Brown - the predecessor of the Central Post Office Building. In 1908, to celebrate the centenary of Chile's independence, architect Ramon Feherman added a third floor in French neoclassical style to the Central Post Office, and added a dome. Now the building is used for the Central Post Office, and there is a postal museum on the second floor of the post office.

The Central Post Building (Post Museum) is a magnificent building next to the Amas Square in downtown San Diego. It is quite interesting to have a Christmas tree wrapped in a package for the upcoming Christmas.
The Central Post Office in Santiago is an old building with more than 300 years of history. It is the National Post Office in Chile, where you can not only receive mail, but also visit the postal museum here to introduce the history of the postal business. It is well worth a visit.
The central post office is located in the corner of the Arms Square in the center of San Diego's Old Town, next to the Metropolitan Church, because there is no door open, so you can only look outside, the building is still really magnificent
The central post office is in the corner of Santiago Arms Square. It is not only a post office in business, but also the Chile Post Telephone and Telegraph History Museum. It introduces the past and present lives of Chile Post and Telephone history. There are many precious objects and materials, as well as scene wax figures. A vivid display of the history of communication in Chile is worth a visit.
Central Post Office, just near Amazing Square/Arms Square and the main church. Beautiful buildings, good appearance and furnishings, and harmonious with the surrounding environment. Just the security situation nearby is really not flattering.
Located in the arms square of San Diego, in the middle of several retro buildings, but behind it is a towering modern building, giving people a strong sense of conflict. We originally wanted to send a few postcards here, and we could meet the weekend, which is a pity!
