This 1987 Malta Europa issue features Il-Knisja Tal-Manikata (The Church of Manikata), a striking modern circular church located in the village of Manikata. Designed by architect Richard England, the structure blends contemporary architectural form with traditional Maltese stone construction. Issued as part of the Europa CEPT series, it represents Malta’s contribution to the annual pan-European philatelic theme. The warm limestone tones against a deep blue sky create a dramatic visual contrast, enhancing its appeal for architecture and Europa collectors. A strong addition to any Europa, Malta, or religious architecture thematic collection.
