This stamp pays homage to a historic lighthouse on the Tunisian eastern coast, combining functions of maritime signaling and heritage architecture. The illustration highlights the massiveness of the borj and its location facing the sea, symbols of stability and continued human presence on the coast. In the Tunisian context, this theme promotes maritime memory, the safety of marine routes and the richness of a coastal heritage intimately linked to fishing, trade and the country's Mediterranean identity.
