Issued by Malta in 1987 as part of the prestigious Europa CEPT series, this 35-cent stamp features Il-Knisja tal-Manikata (The Church of Manikata). The modern rotunda-style church stands prominently against the Maltese landscape, symbolizing contemporary ecclesiastical architecture. Designed with clean geometric lines, the structure reflects Malta’s evolving architectural heritage during the late 20th century. The Europa inscription and CEPT emblem enhance its collectibility among thematic Europa and architecture collectors. A desirable issue for specialists in Maltese philately and European joint issues.
