A postcard of Sergiyev Posad (Се́ргиев Поса́д), a city and administrative center of Sergiyevo-Posadsky District, Moscow Oblast. The main picture is the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra. It is the city landmark and also the center of the city. The smaller picture shows The Holy Spring and the Descent of Holy Spirit on the Apostle Church (Dukhovskaya Church). They are parts of UNESCO World Heritage List under the name "Architectural Ensemble of the Trinity Sergius Lavra in Sergiev Posad". Thanks erelvan.
Two stamps were used, one is 9.00p. EUROPA series stamp with astronomy theme and the other is 10p. Tsarskoye Selo (Царское Село or Tsar's Village) stamp. The postmark is not clear. The date is not recognized. Only able to recognize "МОСКВА" for Moscow and "Рязанский" for Ryazansky.
