Santa Maria Magdalena



This card was sent from Zaragoza ,Spain by David. It is a view of the Zaragoza that includes the Santa Maria Magdalena tower, and the Church named "El Pilar " at the back. The tower is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS)




The stamp used shows a famous Islamic Spanish Scholar-Al-Idrisi, whose contributions where in the field of geography. The cancelation mark is also unique. The one on the right is the one similar to the card sent by Olga also from Spain. I believe it's a special cancelation mark. The card was canceled in Zaragoza on the 15th of April 2008. A big thanks to David!!
