This stamp highlights the Galite lighthouse as an emblematic maritime landmark located in the far north of Tunisia, a symbol of security and watchfulness in the Mediterranean area.

In the Tunisian context, this theme promotes coastal heritage and the ancient link between the sea and territorial sovereignty.
