This print captures the majestic Bab al-Zuweila gate in Cairo, a renowned medieval gateway that stands as a testament to Egypt's rich history. Taken on 25 November 1924 by Alfieri, this monochrome image transports us back to the vibrant streets of early 20th century Cairo. In this snapshot, we see men dressed in traditional robes and turbans, showcasing the fashion of the era. The bustling market surrounding the gate adds an element of liveliness to the scene, with vendors selling their wares and locals going about their daily activities. The Bab al-Zuweila gate itself is a magnificent architectural marvel. Its intricate archway and imposing door serve as reminders of its medieval origins. This southern gateway has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls and continues to be an iconic symbol of Cairo's heritage. Alfieri's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of the gate and the everyday life unfolding around it. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to experience a glimpse into Egypt's past during the roaring twenties. This photograph from Europeana Photography collection serves as a valuable historical document that preserves not only architectural beauty but also cultural traditions for generations to come.
