EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the timeless beauty of Nauplion, or Nafplio, a coastal town in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 2003, showcases the Fortress of Palamidi, a formidable structure built by the Venetians during their second occupation in the 17th century. Perched atop a hill, the fortress overlooks the shimmering harbor and the azure Aegean Sea beyond. The Fortress of Palamidi, with its distinctive red and white stripes, stands as a testament to the rich history of this ancient land. Its imposing presence adds a sense of grandeur to the picturesque town below, where narrow streets lined with colorful houses wind their way down to the waterfront. Nauplion, the former capital of Greece, has been an important cultural and historical center since ancient times. Its strategic location on the Argolic Gulf made it a coveted prize for various conquerors throughout history, including the Venetians, the Ottomans, and the Greeks. This stunning photograph offers a glimpse into the past and the present of this remarkable destination. The Fortress of Palamidi, a symbol of Nauplion's storied past, stands proudly against the backdrop of the 21st century, inviting visitors to explore the town's rich history and vibrant culture.
