EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the striking contrast between the Law Courts and the old Portuguese Fort in Mombasa, Kenya, circa 1908. The image transports us back in time to the colonial era of British East Africa. The Law Courts, with their imposing neoclassical architecture, stand proudly in the foreground, their grand facade adorned with intricate details and a towering clock tower. The steps leading up to the entrance invite visitors to approach and seek justice. In the background, the old Portuguese Fort, a relic of a bygone era, looms large. Its weathered walls, punctuated by cannon openings and a ladder, tell tales of a rich and complex history. The fort, built in the late 16th century, served as a strategic stronghold for the Portuguese during their colonization of East Africa. It later became a British military garrison in the late 19th century, before eventually being converted into a prison. The juxtaposition of these two structures highlights the intersection of different cultures and historical periods in Mombasa. The Law Courts represent the British colonial administration and the rule of law, while the old Portuguese Fort stands as a reminder of the city's rich and complex history, marked by exploration, trade, and conquest. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the past and the resilience of Mombasa as a vibrant and dynamic city in East Africa.
