1987 Spain Europa Postage Stamp National Roman Art Museum Appraisal

1987 Spain Europa Postage Stamp - National Roman Art Museum

This is a rectangular postage stamp issued by Spain (España) in 1987 as part of the CEPT Europa series. The stamp portrays a detailed architectural drawing of the interior of the Museo Nacional de Arte Romano (National Museum of Roman Art) in Mérida, Spain, designed by renowned architect Rafael Moneo. The illustration is executed in a monochromatic sepia-toned line art style against a cream-colored background. Key text on the left includes 'españa', 'europa', 'correos', and the denomination '48' (pesetas). The CEPT logo appears in the upper-left corner. Along the bottom margin, fine print credits 'MUSEO (R. MONEO) MERIDA' and the printing house 'F.N.M.T. 1987'. The stamp features standard perforation on all four edges. Physically, it appears to be in mint or high-grade unused condition with no visible cancellation marks, tears, or creases. The centering is slightly shifted toward the bottom-right, though the design remains well within the perforated borders. The print quality is crisp, showcasing the complex vaulted architecture and structural geometry of the museum.
