EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Monument to the Virgin of the Valley (Monumento a la Virgen del Valle) and the Tower of St. Mary's (Torre de Santa Maria) in Ecija, Seville, Spain. The city of Ecija is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, with over twenty churches and convents, each boasting unique architectural styles such as Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance, or Baroque towers and bell-gables. The Monument to the Virgin of the Valley, also known as the Triumph of the Virgin of the Valley, is a grandiose tribute to the patron saint of the city. The statue of the Virgin Mary, with her arms outstretched, stands triumphantly atop a column, overlooking the city and its inhabitants. The monument is a testament to the deep-rooted faith and devotion of the people of Ecija. The Tower of St. Mary's, located in the foreground of the photograph, adds to the historic charm of the scene. The tower, which is part of the Church of St. Mary, dates back to the 16th century and is a fine example of the Mudejar architectural style, which was popular during the Moorish occupation of Spain. The intricate geometric patterns and the red and white stripes on the tower's exterior are characteristic of this unique architectural style. The photograph captures the essence of Ecija's rich history and cultural heritage, transporting us back in time to the 1910s, when this scene was a daily sight for the city's residents. The Monument to the Virgin of the Valley and the Tower of St. Mary's continue to stand proudly, serving as symbols of the city's past and its enduring faith.
