EDITORS COMMENTS
Saigon, Vietnam - The Hotel des Postes (Central Post Office): A Glimpse into the Past of French Colonial Architecture This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Saigon, Vietnam, during the French colonial era. At the heart of the city, the grandeur of the Central Post Office, or Hotel des Postes, stands proudly. Designed by esteemed French architect Marie-Alfred Foulhoux (1840-1892), this architectural masterpiece was constructed in the late 19th century and completed around the 1910s. The Central Post Office is a significant representation of the French colonial influence on Vietnamese architecture. Its design is a harmonious blend of European and Asian elements, with intricate details that reflect the architect's vision. The building's facade is adorned with ornate columns, arches, and decorative motifs, while the interior boasts high ceilings, large windows, and elegant wooden benches. Marie-Alfred Foulhoux was a prolific architect who left his mark on various cities in Indochina, including Hanoi, Hue, and Da Nang. His designs were characterized by their grandeur, functionality, and respect for local traditions. The Central Post Office in Saigon is a testament to his talent and the enduring legacy of French colonial architecture in Vietnam. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of a bygone era when the world was more interconnected through the postal service. The Central Post Office served as a vital hub for communication, linking Saigon to the rest of the world. Today, it remains a popular tourist destination, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Vietnam.
