The castle represented in the beautiful miniature sheet is the Maiden Tower (Azerbaijani: Qız Qalası), located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Old City of Baku".

Built in the 12th century, as part of the walled city of Baku, the Maiden Tower, with the Shirvanshahs' Palace dated to the 15th century, are an ensemble of historic monuments. It is one of the most noted landmarks and Azerbaijan's most distinctive national emblems, and is thus featured on Azeri currency notes and other official letter heads.

A nice UNESCO cover from Brazil, celebrating it's beautiful capital, Brasilia, with 8 stamps (from a set of 12) issued in 2010.
Brasilia, a capital created ex nihilo in the centre of the country in 1956, was a landmark in the history of town planning. Urban planner Lucio Costa and architect Oscar Niemeyer intended that every elemento - from the layout of the residential and administrative districts (often compared to the shape pf a bird in flight) to the symmetry of the buildings themselves - should be in harmony with the city's overall design. The official buildings, in particular, are innovative and imaginative. The city is inscribed as an UNESCO site since 1987.
