This beautiful cover from Spain depicts a miniature sheet issued in 2023 with a picture of the Santa Maria de Mediavilla Cathedral, in the town of Teruel. This monument is part of the World Heritage Site Mudejar Architecture in Aragon. Mudéjar architecture of Aragon is an aesthetic trend in Mudéjar style in Aragon (Spain) and has been recognized in some representative buildings as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The chronology of the Aragonese Mudéjar occupies 12th to the 17th century and includes more than a hundred architectural monuments located predominantly in the valleys of the Ebro, Jalón and Jiloca. In 1986, Unesco declared the whole Mudéjar complex of Teruel a World Heritage Site, which was extended in 2001 to include other Aragonese Mudejar monuments.
