Where is the lighthouse?:
In the background of the second stamp, we can see the iconic figure of the "Cerro de Montevideo" (Montevideo´s Hill). And at the top, there is a lighthouse with the same name.
Where did I see it before?
-In 2002 this lighthouse had a special issue for the bicentenary of life.
- And as I told before, this hill is an iconic figure in Uruguay, so it appear in numerous stamps. For example:
 |
| In the 1965 National Flag issue |
 |
| Do you like golf? In this stamp from 1996 the Farola appear at the top. |
 |
| Or in this serie from 2009, honoring to Charles Darwin. Look for it and you will find it. |
