EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases a general view of Alexandria, Egypt, with the stunning Ras el-Tin Palace at its heart. Nestled on the eastern side of the city, the palace was constructed between 1837 and 1847, serving as a summer residence for the ruling Egyptian monarchs. The palace's unique design, characterized by its European influence and intricate details, stands in stark contrast to the vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea in the background. Alexandria, a coastal city in northwestern Egypt, has long been renowned for its rich history and cultural significance. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, the city has been a melting pot of various civilizations, including Greek, Roman, Islamic, and European. The city's diverse architectural landscape is a testament to its multicultural past. In this panoramic view, we can see numerous houses and buildings, some with European influences, lining the coastline. The palm trees and greenery add a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, dotted with boats, reflect the vibrant colors of the cityscape. The Ras el-Tin Palace, with its red-tiled roofs and ornate balconies, stands proudly against the backdrop of the sea and the sky. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Alexandria was a thriving city, a hub of culture and commerce, and a testament to the rich history of Egypt.
