EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling spirit of Rue Sabri Pacha in Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1901. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Salonika, is Greece's second largest city and a vibrant cultural melting pot, with a rich history that spans over 2,300 years. Rue Sabri Pacha, named after the local Pasha or governor, is one of the city's most historic streets. In this photograph, we see a lively procession of horse-drawn carts and pedestrians making their way along the cobblestone road. The houses lining the street are adorned with colorful shutters and balconies, their facades bearing the marks of time and the elements. The Cumbas, or Turkish baths, located at the end of the street, are a prominent feature of the scene. These traditional bathhouses were an essential part of daily life for many residents, providing a place to relax, socialize, and cleanse the body. The Cumbas were also a symbol of the city's multicultural heritage, reflecting the influence of the Ottoman Empire that ruled Thessaloniki for over 400 years. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when horse-drawn carts still ruled the streets and the Cumbas were a vital part of everyday life. It serves as a reminder of Thessaloniki's rich history and its enduring role as a cultural crossroads between Europe and the Middle East.
