This fine-looking apartment building in downtown Vigo is at 50 Rúa de García Barbón. It has some classic Art Deco features and a polished black marble foundation stone signed by the architect, whose flambouyant signature looks like Francisco Pastore (?).

Rúa do Areal, 18, 36201 Vigo, Pontevedra, Spain (1928)

This building at 18 Rúa do Areal in Vigo has many beautiful Art Deco features. It is currently occupied by a variety of businesses, that include a rock bar, a restaurant, and a women's clothes shop. All I could find out about it was that it was built in 1928 and has the initials EP accompanying the date over the main door.

Main Post Office, 1927-1931, Plaza del Alcalde Manuel Casas, A Coruña, Galicia, Spain

This beautiful main post office in A Coruna was featured on a 2002 Spanish postage stamp. Built between 1927 and 1931 on land reclaimed from the sea, the architects of this eye-catching gem were Luis Lozano Losilla and Joaquin Otamendi Machimbarrena. All components of this large building, which is easily the best-designed construction in this part of the city, seem to flow easily one into the next, they are so well-coordinated.

Palazzo delle Poste di Palermo, 1920s, Palermo, Italy

Sitting on a bus going along Via Roma in Palermo, the visitor cannot help but be impressed by the sight of the magnificent post office. According to Isabelle Lomholt on e-architect, the post office "is a large rationalist building designed by architect Angiolo Mazzoni in the early 1920s. The style of the building is typical of the fascist period whilst the interiors are futuristic, one of the few intact examples of the time, with frescoes by Benedetta Cappa, wife of Marinetti." The pictures below will take you on a tour, mostly of the exterior.
