THE CENTRAL POST OFFICE
The Central Post Office of the country is located in the Independence square. It was built in 1950-s. That is when the reconstructions of houses after World War II were completed.
The architecture of facades combines the strictness of the classical configuration with the picturesque pliability of forms of the Ukrainian Baroque.
