Sixty envelopes were stamped, each one with a stamp allegorical to important patrimonial buildings such as the Fire Station, the Junco Palace, the Sauto Theater, the portals of La Vigía, the former Palace of Justice, nowadays the OCCM, because they are given a new value and a philatelic distinction to the memories of the moment.
