Hlavní pošta (Main Post Office) is an important divider of the business and spa districts of Karlovy Vary. The building was constructed in 1903 according to the design of architect Friedrich Setz. In its time, it belonged among the most modern postal facilities in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Above the pilasters at the third-floor level, you may admire four allegorical statues representing the Telegraph, Railway Transport, Water Transport, and the Post. The building is a protected historical monument.
