Croatia:Republic of Croatia/Republic of Ireland Joint Edition

On 23 January 2020, An Post and Croatian Post jointly issued two commemorative stamps to celebrate the designation of Galway and Rijeka as European Capitals of Culture, 2020.

Issue Description
Galway is certainly synonymous with all things cultural in Ireland and the organisers had an ambitious programme of events planned for the year.

The same applies to Rijeka, which is the third-largest Croatian city where a major international carnival takes place each year.

Stamps
A treat awaits all those with a love for the City of the Tribes as the Galway stamp depicts famous landmarks and symbols associated with Galway. These include NUI Galway, Claddagh seafront buildings, Spanish Arch, Galway Hooker boat, Claddagh ring emblem, city coat of arms, Macnas giant puppet representing theatre and a guitar to symbolise Galway buskers.

The Rijeka stamp depicts famous features associated with the city, known as the Gateway to Croatia’s Islands.
