Manila Central Post Office | Manila Heritage Tour

Finally, this is it!! One of my bucketlist.. Natupad na rin.. Its been a long time since nakapasok ako sa building na ito, kung di ako nagkakamali grade 1 ako noong nakapunta ako sa gusaling ito. Ang Manila Central Post Office.

What is the story behind this Neo-classical  building? What is the history? What are inside?

Here are the answers to those questions:

Manila Central Post Office is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Manila,located at Liwasang Bonifacio Plaza (now known as Plaza Lawton).

This neoclassical architecture was designed by architect Juan Marcos de Guzman Arrelano,Ralph Duane and Tomas Mapua (founder of Mapúa Institute of Technology)  in 1926.

This building was destroyed during the world war II and was reconstructed last 1946 after the war ended.
