Estonia: University of Tartu

On Tuesday I got three postcards: one from Estonia, one from Turkey and one from Germany.

The card from Estonia shows the main building of Tartu's University. The University of Tartu was founded in 1632 and thus it is Estonia's oldest university. It is also the national university of Estonia and only full-scale university in the country.


Stamp:
EUROPA (from set of two) (issued 06-05-2015)
The stamp shows a Vigri toy produced by Polümeer. Vigri was the mascot of Olympic sailing competitions held in Tallinn in 1980, when it was the capital of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic.


Thank You very much Marju!
