Description
This program celebrates the centenary of the municipality of Monastir (1887-1987) while paying tribute to Habib Bourguiba, native of the city. The illustration presents the portrait of the smiling president next to the city's coat of arms, which feature the famous Ribat, an emblematic fortress of Tunisian architectural and military heritage. This stamp underlines the importance of the municipal institution in the territorial organization of the country and testifies to the historical recognition towards the national leader, linking the identity of a thousand-year-old city to the construction of modern Tunisia.
