Posts and Telegraphs is the headquarters of the official Post Office service in Barcelona, ​​a cultural asset of interest. It has four facades and connects by means of a high bridge with an annex building that is in the back part, work of the post architect Roberto Oms Gracia. The main access is from Plaça d'Antoni López, with a perron, columned porch, allegorical sculptures and a great coat of arms of Spain. The sculptural decoration of the exteriors is the work of Pere Jou, Manuel Fuxà and Eusebi Arnau.
Designed in 1914 by architects Josep Goday i Casals and Jaume Torres i Grau was built between 1926 and 1928. Included in the operation of Via Laietana in the sea, together with the headquarters of the Trasmediterránea Company.

From the trapezoidal plant with the shamrocks, the flat structure comprises a semi-basement, two floors, attic and a rooftop terrace in the two streets facing Plaça Antoni López and Carrer Fusteria. In the rest of the cruises, facing the Via Laietana and the Carrer d'Àngel Baixeras, there is still a surplus. Depassing the cornice line, the shamrobes are crowned by three circular-floor towers and several heights. The main access leads to a large lobby area that contains stairs to the floors and access to the large central hall.

The four facades of the building structure their openings in vertical and horizontal axes of regular rhythm and their finishes are made entirely in stone of Montjuïc. The main façade, faced at Plaça Antoni López, consists of a large parapet framed by the lateral towers and the central access body. Flanking this central body there are the basements of the basement, open to the street and included in the basement of the building. The central body consists of a tetrahedral porch of pilasters and giant columns with flowery Ionic capitals that embrace the two main floors of the building. The porch, which rests on a long staircase, is crowned by four sculptures and the coat of arms of the Spanish Royal House at the time of Alfonso XIII.
The giant Ionian order of the porch is repeated in the towers of the angles and on the facades of Via Laietana and Carrer Fusteria, converted, in these cases, into giant pilasters. In the intercolumns the openings of the first and second floor are manifested, framed with Ionic columns and triangular pediments. The attic, which rests upon the entablature of the giant order that runs through the whole building, is the profusely ornate level of the building. Indeed, this level contains all balconies with wrought iron railing and doors with floral reliefs sculpted on the posts and borders. On these windows there is a cornice on the basis of brackets and garlands that flank the ventilation ducts of the roof, closed by a railing of stone balusters. On the cornice line, the three towers of the angles break the global horizontality of the building with its forms. The chamfer tower Via Laietana - Pl. Antoni López, is the tallest and consists of a long striated drum with double pilasters that hold the lookout in the form of a circular temple with double Ionic columns closed by railings of forge. On this body of circular section there is still an Ionic temple with a cruciform plant and Ionic porches that maintains a last level, made up of a pillar-shaped eight-stroke lamp. The two other towers, lower and simpler, are formed by a drum decorated with Ionic semicolumns and quarters on which a lantern with volutes and back jars rests.
