Malta 1965 Definitive Series - St. John's Co-Cathedral

Malta · 1965 · 2d

This definitive stamp features an exterior view of St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, a prominent example of Baroque architecture. The design highlights the cathedral's ornate facade and its significance as a historical and religious landmark. It was part of a comprehensive definitive series issued in 1965 that showcased Maltese history, culture, and architecture.

Issued shortly after Malta gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1964, this definitive series was one of the first to establish a new national identity through its postage, moving away from purely monarchical themes.
