EDITORS COMMENTS
Behold the enchanting view of Bejaia, a historic city nestled on the eastern coast of Algeria in the Kabylie region. This image, sketched in 1847, captures the city as it appeared from the shimmering sea. Bejaia, also known as Bougie or Bugia, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of North Africa. The city's fortified walls, which can be seen in the distance, have stood the test of time, protecting Bejaia from invaders for centuries. The whitewashed buildings with their red-tiled roofs, clustered together against the backdrop of the rugged coastline, exude an air of tranquility and resilience. The turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea, dotted with fishing boats, reflect the clear blue sky above, creating a stunning contrast against the dramatic cliffs and rocky shores. The city's vibrant history is evident in the mosques, palaces, and other architectural wonders that can be seen within its walls. Bejaia, located in the Kabylie region, is home to the Kabyle people, who have maintained their unique language, traditions, and customs despite the influences of various conquerors throughout history. The city's rich cultural heritage, combined with its stunning natural beauty, makes it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in exploring the history and diversity of North Africa. This evocative sketch, taken from the sea, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to imagine the stories and secrets that lie hidden within the walls of Bejaia. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of this historic city and the beauty of the North African coast.
