The Manila Central Post Office Building has been declared an “Important Cultural Property” by the National Museum. It is still considered the grandest building, most prominent landmark, and a tourist attraction in the City of Manila.
This neo-classical building was inaugurated in 1931, known then as the “Bureau of Posts” which was designed by the famous Filipino architect Juan Arellano. The Post Office Building was built as a modern colonial architecture, an example of a perfect neo-classical monument.
Aside from the Manila Central Post Office Building, Arellano also designed the Manila Metropolitan Theater and the old legislative building (National Museum).
Urban green spaces can also help reduce pollution and improve air quality.
