EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1935, transports us to the ancient city of Zara in Croatia. The image showcases the impressive Gateway of St. Rock standing tall amidst the ruins of the Church of St. Simeon, offering a glimpse into both its military and religious history. The Gateway of St. Rock is a formidable structure that served as a crucial defensive point for centuries. Its sturdy walls and intricate architectural details are testaments to the skilled craftsmanship of bygone eras. As we gaze at this magnificent gateway, we can almost imagine soldiers patrolling its ramparts, safeguarding the city from potential threats. Nestled beside it are the haunting ruins of the Church of St. Simeon, once an emblematic Christian place of worship in Zara. Though now reduced to fragments and rubble, these remnants still exude an aura of sacredness and evoke a sense of reverence within us. Beyond these historical landmarks lies a breathtaking view encompassing parts of this enchanting Croatian cityscape. From this vantage point, one can witness Zara's unique blend of old-world charm with modernity as buildings stretch towards distant horizons. This remarkable print by Alinari Fratelli captures not only tangible structures but also intangible stories etched into their very foundations – tales that speak volumes about human resilience and faith throughout time. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how architecture has shaped civilizations while religion has provided solace during tumultuous periods in history. May it serve as a reminder that even amidst ruins lie traces of beauty waiting to be discovered anew.
