Fodor's Review:
Inaugurated in 1897, this regal structure looks more like a palace than a post office. You can certainly buy a stamp or send a package, but most people come here to admire the exuberance of an era when no one thought twice about placing bronze angels atop a civic building. At one time locals deposited letters in the mouth of the bronze lion by the front doors. The Museo Postal y Filatélico, a tiny museum of stamps, is just inside the front entrance.
