It is the world’s third highest unsupported dome. G?ajn Tuffiena Bay near Manikata village is featured on the €0.42 stamp. Gozo Aqueduct or 'tal-?ammimiet', built during the British Rule between 1839 and 1843 is featured on the €0.59 stamp. The 2-km long aqueduct supplied fresh water from G?ar Ilma to Victoria. Dwejra Bay, well-known for its beautiful coastal formation and a shallow inland sea is featured on the €1.25 stamp.
The stamps were issued in sheets of 10 stamps and each stamp depicts the Maltese Cross watermark.
