This cover from United Nations (New York Office) depicts 4 stamps (2 of eavch type), celebrating 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Spain: the
Old Town of Segovia and its Aqueduct and the
Works of Antonio Gaudí in Barcelona. Segovia a city in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. Segovia is in the Inner Plateau (Meseta central), near the northern slopes of the Sistema Central range and on a bend of the Eresma river. The city is famous for its historic buildings including three main landmarks: its midtown Roman aqueduct, its cathedral (one of the last ones to be built in Europe following a Gothic style), and the medieval castle, which served as one of the templates for Walt Disney's Cinderella Castle. The city center was declared of World Heritage by UNESCO in 1985. The Roman aqueduct was constructed in the 1st century, the medieval Alcázar palace in the 11th century, and the cathedral in the 16th. Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) was a Catalan architect from Spain known as the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí's works have a highly individualized, sui generis style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his main work, the church of the Sagrada Família.
