The Falekaupule is a traditional meeting house that has become an iconic symbol of Tuvalu. It serves as a communal gathering place where locals come together for important meetings and events. The Falekaupule is an important part of Tuvaluan culture and represents the values of unity and community.

The unique architecture of the Falekaupule is characterized by its cone-shaped thatched roof and open-sided design, which allows for a natural flow of air to circulate through the building. The structure is built entirely from local materials, including coconut trees, pandanus leaves, and coral rocks.

The Falekaupule is not only an important cultural and social center for the Tuvaluan people, but it also represents the nation on the international stage. Its distinctive design and cultural significance make it a fitting subject for a Tuvaluan postage stamp.

Tuvalu was the last independent country without a stamp or a stamp proposal on this site! Now all the recognized countries of the world have at least one location stamp proposed. Thanks to the Slowly team and all the users who made this possible by proposing awesome ideas on this site.
