EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th century photograph of The Square, market place, in the ancient city of Kairouan, Tunisia. Established in the 9th century, Kairouan was a powerful trading hub and a center of Islamic scholarship during the Aghlabid Empire. The city's rulers, the Aghlabid emirs, built many of its architectural wonders, including the Great Mosque and the Aghlabid Basilica, which can be seen in the background of this image. The Square, or Al-Hafnaoui, is the heart of Kairouan's bustling marketplace. The scene depicted in this photograph showcases the urban vibrancy of the town, with merchants and traders setting up their stalls along the cobblestone streets, displaying an array of goods from textiles and pottery to spices and foodstuffs. The horses and carts lining the roads add to the sense of movement and activity. The architectural beauty of Kairouan is evident in the buildings surrounding The Square. The ornate arches, intricate tilework, and tall, slender minarets are remnants of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The residence in the foreground, with its wooden balcony and red-tiled roof, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the city's residents during this era. This vintage photograph, likely taken between the 1870s and 1900s, invites us to explore the scenic streets of Kairouan and experience the urban charm of this historic town. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the power of photography to transport us to another time and place.
