The Saigon Central Post Office (Bưu điện Trung tâm Sài Gòn in Vietnamese and Poste centrale de Saïgon in French) is the main post office in Ho Chi Minh City, near the Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, the city's cathedral. The building was constructed when Vietnam was part of French Indochina in the late 19th century. It is a prime example of Gothic, Renaissance, and French styles. Constructed between 1886-1891, the still functioning post office is now a tourist attraction. It is one of the most noteworthy post offices in the world.
It was designed by Alfred Foulhoux, but is often erroneously credited as being the work of Gustave Eiffel.
Inside the Saigon Central Post office of special note are two painted maps that were created just after the post office was built, the first one located on the left side of the building is a map of Southern Vietnam and Cambodia titled "Lignes telegraphiques du Sud Vietnam et Cambodge 1892" which translates to "Telegraphic lines of Southern Vietnam and Cambodia 1892." The second map of greater Saigon is titled "Saigon et ses environs 1892" which translates as "Saigon and its surroundings 1892."
