EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic view of Tripoli, Lebanon, transports us back in time to 1910. The photograph captures the unique charm of the ancient city's rooftops, with their intricate patterns and textures, stretching out before us like a mosaic quilt. The vibrant colors of the tiled rooftops contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the stone buildings below. In the back left corner of the image, the imposing presence of the Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles, also known as Qalaat Sanjil, can be seen. This historic fortress, built in the 13th century by the Crusader knight Raymond III of Tripoli, stands proudly atop a hill, its massive walls and towers dominating the skyline. The citadel's rich history is a testament to the diverse cultural influences that have shaped Tripoli over the centuries. The photograph also reveals the narrow, winding streets and alleys that crisscross the old city, leading to hidden courtyards and secret gardens. The sound of bustling markets and the aroma of spices and fresh bread waft through the air, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace. This stunning panoramic view of Tripoli's rooftops is a visual feast for the eyes, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and rich history of this remarkable city in Lebanon.
