Blue envelope from the Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue in Gibralter, which is an overseas British Territory on the south coast of Spain. The envelope commemorates the synagogue's bicentenary. The envelope is postmarked June, 19, 1969.
The Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue is also known as the Kahal Kadosh Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue. It was opened in 1724 and was the first synagogue on the Iberian Peninsula. The original building was destroyed by the Great Rainstorm of 1766. It was rebuilt in 1768. On May 17, 1781, the synagogue was destroyed by gunfire during Spanish attacks during the Great Seige. It underwent reconstruction in 1812 after damage due to fire. The synagogue is still in use today.
