Anchoring Plaça d’Antonio López (Antonio López Square) in the Gothic Quarter of Ciutat Vella District is Edificio de Correos y Telégrafos de Barcelona. A team of architects – Jaume Torres i Grau and Josep Goday i Casals – created Barcelona’s Post Office and Telegraph Building in 1929. The four statues below the coat of arms were sculpted by Manuel Fuxà. They are allegories for communications. Surprising, this is still the city’s central post office. Not surprisingly, the telegraph services are long gone.
