This high-value stamp focuses on the monumental entrance and massive sloping walls of the Citadel of Aleppo, one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. The architectural strength of the medieval fortress is captured in fine detail, set within a frame that resembles a decorative rope or twisted cord.
