Postal Palace, Pecs

The Postal Palace is a magnificent building that adorns the centre of ancient Sopianae, a city of the Roman Empire division called Valeria, which we call Pecs today. The construction is in eclectic style with some inclusions of French Renaissance ornaments. Some of the building's decorations were made at the Zsolnay Factory, and elements like reliefs and the coat of arms reflect the postal orientation of the palace.
