The cathedral at Beja was begun in 1590 and is dedicated to St James. It was designated a cathedral relatively recently, in 1925. At that time it was renovated and enlarged, and ultimately rededicated in 1937. As such the organ is likewise relatively new.
The stamp for this cathedral was issued in the 2013 series. It features a long view of the nave, with part of the organ just barely visible. One can home in on the organ using the characteristic red pipe shades as a guide. It was built in 1996 by Egbert Pfaff of Germany. One may view the stop list here. The view of the nave below seems to have been shot just a bit closer to the east end of the church, and thus shows a little bit more of the instrument.
