EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Monument of Philippos in Athens, Greece, captured around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The monument, located on the northwest slope of the Acropolis, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this ancient city. The Monument of Philippos, also known as the Monument of Lysicrates, is an ancient Doric column dating back to 334 BC. It was originally used to celebrate a victory in the theater and was later converted into a Christian cross during the Byzantine period. In the late 18th century, the monument was restored and became a popular tourist attraction. This photograph, taken around 1880, offers a unique perspective of the monument, showcasing its intricate details and the stunning views of Athens and the Acropolis in the background. The use of a camera during this era adds to the historical significance of the image, as photography was still a relatively new technology at the time. As you gaze at this vintage photograph, imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Athens during the 1880s. The bustling markets, the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air, and the lively conversations of travelers and locals alike. This image invites us to explore the early travel era and the cultural traditions that have shaped Greece and its historic landmarks for centuries.
