EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Qaitbay Fortress, also known as Fort Rosetta, located in the historic town of Rosetta, Egypt. Constructed during the late 15th century by Qaitbay, the esteemed 18th Mamluk sultan of Egypt, this fortress stands as a testament to both architectural brilliance and defensive prowess. The image captures the essence of this fifteenth-century stronghold with its imposing towers and sturdy walls that have withstood centuries of history. The vibrant colors bring life to every intricate detail of this Islamic fortification, highlighting its significance not only as a geographical feature but also as a symbol of religious heritage. Situated on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Fort Rosetta played a crucial role in safeguarding Egypt's coastline from potential invasions throughout various dynasties. Its strategic location served as an essential defense mechanism for protecting Egyptian territories against external threats. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph taken by Vivienne Sharp, we are transported back in time to an era when Islam flourished and mighty structures like Qaitbay Fortress stood tall amidst changing tides. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural past and invites us to appreciate the architectural marvels that have shaped our world today.
