Real Casa de Postas
Information
This administrative building, located between Calle de la Paz, Calle Pontejos and Calle Correos, was home for some years to the telegraph service and offices of the National Police force, under the name Quartel de Zaragoza, until it was bought by Madrid's Regional Government in 1985.
Neoclassical in style, the Real Casa de Postas palace was designed in 1795 by Juan Pedro Arnal during the reign of Charles IV, and it was initially used for the postal service horses to rest and change over. That is why it was built behind the Real Casa del Correo (Spanish Royal Mail Offices)
