To open my mailbox like someone opening a surprise box and to feel the pleasure of discovery unleashed by an envelope decorated with stamps.
To be part of the world and also to discover it this way, with the help of those who share this vision.

Thanks a lot Michal, for another fine postcard with one of the many outstanding landmarks of your beautiful country. 



The historic town centre of Kutná Hora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the reasons for this classification is the outstanding building of Saint Barbara's Church, whose construction began in 1388, only to be finished in 1905, which can be seen on the centre right of the photograph, alongside the  Baroque style building of the Jesuit College, completed in 1750.  



Michal used a tariff E stamp part of a two same tariff stamp set, issued on 12OCT2022 in celebration of LIBEREC 2002 European Stamp Exhibition and Polar Salon, held in Liberec, between 13 and 16 October 2022.  

The Postmark was applied at  Velešín, a town in the Český Krumlov district of the South Bohemia Region.

The postcard also contains the stamp of St. Barbara's Church, and I'm very glad that Michal included it since it is quite a nice addition.
