Grand or grandiose, depending on how you look at it, the Central Post Office is an ideal embodiment of the Greco-Roman revival that characterized Western architecture between the World Wars. Not surprisingly, this imposing, perfectly proportioned structure has influenced and inspired generations of Filipino architectural students. The stately building, however, is more impressive from the outside, as the interior is a little shabby. Stamp collectors can obtain the latest issues from a philatelic section inside.
