Palazzo delle Poste, Catania

The Palazzo delle Poste is a notable building, called a palace, but built for and still housing postal offices.

All contain a rusticated ground level set upon a base of dark lava stone.

The ground floor is an row of arches, each with a keystone marked by a grotesque mask.

The second floors have convex balconies framed by pilasters surmounted by a tympanum with a broken pediment.

The interior courtyard now obscured by further construction, was nearly devoid of such decoration and has a simplistic brick detail more common in Fascist architecture of the time.
