Our journey continues to the Post Office, a grandiose building that once housed the Palace of Communications during the early 20th century. From here, we’ll head to the Palace of Fine Arts, a stunning Art Nouveau and Art Deco masterpiece that showcases the best of Mexican art and culture, as it preserves amazing murals painted by prominent artists such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco.
