EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of a Turkish café nestled beneath the ancient ramparts of Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1910s. The Old City Citadel, perched majestically on the hilltop, overlooks the bustling café, its imposing walls and towers a reminder of the rich history and cultural layers that make Thessaloniki such a unique and intriguing destination. The Turkish café, with its ornate wooden sign and red-tiled roof, invites passersby for a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of the Old Town. The café's patrons, dressed in traditional attire, engage in lively conversation as they enjoy their Turkish coffee and pastries, their faces expressing a sense of warmth and camaraderie. The ramparts, a testament to the city's long and complex history, loom in the background. Built by the Byzantines in the 4th century AD, the walls have been fortified and rebuilt numerous times over the centuries, reflecting the various rulers who have claimed Thessaloniki as their own, including the Romans, Venetians, and Ottomans. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city, with a rich tapestry of influences from its diverse past. This photograph offers a glimpse into the city's history, as well as a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants during a bygone era.
