EDITORS COMMENTS
Place de l'Eglise, or Church Square, in Alexandria, Egypt, as captured in this stunning vintage photograph from the late 19th century. The image, taken by the renowned Bonfils studio, transports us back in time to an era of ancient architectural grandeur and cultural richness. The photograph showcases the picturesque square, framed by a panoramic view of the city's urban landscape. At the heart of the square stands the imposing Church of Saint Mark, its grand stone facade adorned with intricate carvings and towering spires reaching towards the clear blue sky. The church, a significant religious residence and landmark in Alexandria, is surrounded by a cluster of traditional houses, their walls made of sun-kissed stone, bearing the marks of time. In the background, the silhouette of a castle or fortress can be seen, serving as a reminder of the city's defensive past. The road leading to the square is bustling with activity, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way through the dusty streets. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a medieval tower and a monastery, adding to the diverse architectural tapestry of the city. The photograph also reveals the presence of a hill in the distance, crowned with a palace or residential structure, offering a bird's eye view of the vibrant town below. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Alexandria's historic heritage, inviting us to explore its rich history and cultural offerings.
