Phnom Penh’s Post Office Square Phnom Penh’s Post Office Square was made famous by the film City of Ghosts, recommended viewing for any visitor to Cambodia on a rainy afternoon when sightseeing is off the agenda. A short detour from riverside and Wat Phnom, the area deserves a visit in person, too. The Post Office, built in 1890 and restored and fully reopened in 2004, fronts a small square on Street 13 (really just a widening of the road) surrounded by other examples of colonial architecture in various states of upkeep. Historically, this area was central to the French Quarter, where the business of administering and financing the territory was conducted.
