Welcome to Palestine Stamps
A historic collection of 209 Palestine postage stamps
✨ Discovery of the day
Year: 1965
Minaret of Mardani Mosque
This definitive postage stamp was issued in 1965 for use in the Gaza Strip under the United Arab Republic (UAR) administration. Bearing a low denomination of 4 milliemes frequently utilized within the daily postal network for supplementary rates, local postcards, or mass printed matter—the stamp forms part of a series showcasing the historic sanctuaries and masterworks of classical Islamic architecture in Cairo. By utilizing traditional religious structures rather than contemporary political symbols, the postal service anchored everyday correspondence in the region's enduring spiritual and cultural fabric. The central illustration captures the detailed upper tiers and bulbous finial of the historic Mosque of Amir al-Maridani, a landmark of 14th-century Mamluk architecture celebrated for its innovative engineering and intricate stonework. The architectural portrait is beautifully framed by two vertical decorative borders featuring stylized, interlocking arabesque scroll patterns rendered in high-contrast tones. Circulating heavily on standard civil mail, this issue acted as an elegant visual representative of regional artistic heritage, carrying a message of historic continuity to correspondents across the postal network.
