Barracks and Clock Tower, Gabes, Tunisia, North Africa (circa 1920) This evocative photograph captures the unique character of the Tunisian coastal town of Gabes, located in North Africa. The image showcases a striking combination of architectural styles and the bustling energy of daily life in the 1920s. At the heart of the scene, a grand clock tower dominates the landscape, its intricate design and ornate details standing out against the clear blue sky. The tower, a symbol of the town's rich history, serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the blend of cultures that have shaped Gabes. Adjacent to the clock tower, military barracks can be seen, their imposing structure a testament to the strategic importance of the town during the colonial era. Soldiers can be seen marching in formation, their uniforms crisp and orderly, while others engage in various tasks. The presence of the military adds a sense of discipline and structure to the scene. The photograph also reveals the vibrant street life of Gabes, with people going about their daily routines.

The railings of the balconies and the intricate details of the windows add to the visual richness of the photograph. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of colonial influence, military presence, and the unique character of a Tunisian coastal town. The combination of architectural styles, military presence, and bustling street life make this photograph a captivating representation of Gabes in the 1920s.
