This print showcases the magnificent Shewa Gate, one of the seven entrances to the medieval walled city of Harar. Steeped in history, Harar was once an independent city-state dating back to the early 16th century before becoming part of the Ethiopian Empire in 1887. The significance and sacredness of this ancient city are palpable as you gaze upon its bustling entrance. The image captures a vibrant scene filled with people engaged in various activities within this urban market. The indigenous population, adorned in their traditional clothing, adds a touch of authenticity and cultural richness to the atmosphere. As you explore further into this lively marketplace, it becomes evident that trade is at its heart - locals buying and selling goods while immersed in their daily routines. Harar's Islamic faith permeates every corner of this enchanting cityscape. Mosques stand tall amidst arches and gateways, serving as reminders of its deep-rooted religious heritage. The devout Muslim community contributes to the harmonious blend between commerce and spirituality that characterizes Harar.
