EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a section of the Roman walls of Diyarbakir, a historic city located in south-east Anatolia, Turkey. Originally known as Amida, this ancient city is steeped in rich history and boasts remarkable architectural marvels that have withstood the test of time. The photograph showcases the intricate details and grandeur of these Roman walls, which were constructed between 359-369 AD. The sturdy structure stands tall, serving as a testament to the military and defensive prowess of its creators. Turrets rise majestically against the sky while building elements and decorative sections add an artistic touch to this magnificent piece of architecture. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when empires rose and fell. We can almost envision soldiers patrolling along these very walls centuries ago, protecting their beloved city from invaders. The presence of a person standing near the wall adds scale and perspective to the photograph. It reminds us that despite being remnants from ancient times, these walls continue to attract tourists who embark on journeys through history. Visitors flock here not only for its awe-inspiring beauty but also for its significance as part of Asia's ancient civilization. Captured by Pietro Ronchetti in 1976, this artwork serves as a window into our past - reminding us that even after thousands of years have passed since their creation; these structures still hold immense value both artistically and historically.
