Thessaloniki, Greece - Toumba Hills and (dry) River Vardar
Thessaloniki, Greece - Toumba District and a bridge crossing the (dried up!) River Vardar. Toumba stands for mounds covering Bronze and early Iron Age settlements. They were considered as Grave hills, hence the name that derived from the word Tomb, but excavations showed that they are tells. The mound that rises in the area gave this neighbourhood its name. Date: circa 1917

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Thessaloniki, Greece, specifically the Toumba District and the dried-up River Vardar. The Toumba Hills, named for the steep, sided mounds covering Bronze and early Iron Age settlements, have long been a source of fascination and mystery. Initially considered as Grave hills due to their association with tombs, excavations revealed that they are actually tells – man-made mounds created over centuries as a result of the accumulation of debris from successive settlements. The mound that rises in the area gave this neighborhood its name. In the foreground of the image, a bridge spans the dried-up River Vardar, adding a sense of tranquility and stillness to the scene. The river, once a vital source of water for the city, has been reduced to a mere trickle due to the arid conditions and human activity. The steep-sided hills, dotted with trees and shrubs, provide a stark contrast to the flat, barren riverbed. The history of Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is a fascinating tapestry of different cultures and influences. Founded in 315 BC, the city has been ruled by the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Greeks, each leaving their mark on the city's architecture, cuisine, and traditions. The Toumba District, with its ancient settlements and rich history, is a testament to the city's enduring past and its role as a crossroads of civilizations.
