Fourth issue of the
ATM
set dedicated to the postal architecture in Spain.
The
main post office in
A
Coruña is placed in the Plaza del Alcalde Manuel Casas
on a soil gained from the sea.
It was built between 1927
and 1931 following a project in "Art Déco"
style of the architects Luis Lozano Losilla and Joaquin Otamendi
Machimbarrena.
 |
The
two architects worked in collaboration in a rationalist style and the fruits
of its work is one of the most emblematic and singular G.P.O. building
around the country.
The building has three floors
with a very well composed façade. All in it is symmetry, harmony
and sobriety.
In the middle of the building
was erected the clock tower appearing on the ATM issue. |
