Architecture of the building is full of grandeur. This British era palatial building is definitely an attractive draw for any tourist coming to the city.
General Post Office (G.P.O.) is the head post office of Kolkata and West Bengal. Kolkata Postal District is widely distributed from Barackpore or Barasat for North 24 Parganas to Sonarpur or Joka for South 24 Parganas and Eastern side Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) or New Town City are also included. The G.P.O. is a unique shapes i.e. round shape. It's architectural style is mixed i.e. British and Nababi style. There are more space for the customers and for the general people. This is a unique structure within Kolkata. G.P.O. was established in 1868 at one part of the old Fort Willeum.
One of the heritage architecture of West Bengal. I love to drawing the old buildings of Kolkata and GPO is always very special for me.
An awesome architecture. Presence of history is always felt.
Amazing experience! I booked a Speed Post here and it reached Vasai, Maharashtra, within 3 days. Never expected such faster service from a PSU!
