Photos of Tangier, Tanger, Tánger, Tanjah, Tingis, طنجة

Description :

In ancient times, Tangier was a prize sought after by many, from the Phoenicians, who built a trading post there, to the Romans who founded the town of Tingis. After continuous domination by the Vandals in the 5th century and the Byzantines in the 6th century, the town was long the target of Arab thirst for expansion. Tangier, melting pot of civilizations where Mediterranean meets Atlantic, boasts a splendid bay at the foot of lush green hills. Bewitched by its magical setting, many western celebrities come to holiday here. Tangier, first or last city in the continent, is a stopover not to be missed, affording a first taste of the legend of Morocco.

Stamp of the United Kingdom 1957

Stamp of the United Kingdom overprinted for use in the British postal agencies in Morroco. This overprint of 1957 commemorated the centenary of the Tangier office, just before he closed. The stamp originated from the Castle definitives series of 1955, picturing the Carrickfergus Castle, in Northern Ireland. The stamp was designed by Lynton Lamb.
