EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Independence Monument in the coastal city of Vlora, Albania, a poignant reminder of the country's rich historical past. Erected in 1968, the monument commemorates the declaration of Albania's independence from the Ottoman Empire on November 28, 1912. The monument, also known as the "Monument of Independence," "Monument of Liberty," or "Mumtaz Dhrami Monument," stands proudly in a plaza overlooking the Ionian Sea. The central figure of the monument is a bronze sculpture of a man, symbolizing the Albanian people, with one hand extended in a gesture of defiance against the Ottoman Empire and the other holding the Albanian flag. The monument is a significant historical landmark, reflecting the age-old struggle for freedom and self-determination of the Albanian people. The monument's inscription reads, "To the Heroes of the Declaration of Independence of Vlora, November 28, 1912." The photograph, taken in the 20th century, captures the monument in its timeless beauty, a testament to the enduring spirit of Albania and its people.
