EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the heart of Santa Cruz, the capital city of Tenerife, one of the beautiful Canary Islands located off the northwest coast of Africa, belonging to Spain. The photograph, taken circa 1890s, showcases The Square of the Citadel (Plaza de la Candelaria), a historic and cultural landmark that has been a focal point of the city for centuries. The square, adorned with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, is surrounded by colorful buildings with wrought-iron balconies, typical of the Canary Islands' unique architecture. At the center of the square stands the impressive 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe, a military construction that once served as a protective bastion against pirate attacks. The fortress, now a museum, is a testament to the rich history and resilience of the island's inhabitants. The bustling marketplace, visible in the background, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the residents of Santa Cruz during the late 1800s. The market, filled with various vendors selling local produce, textiles, and handicrafts, was a hub of activity and commerce. This lantern slide image offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the history and culture of Tenerife and the Canary Islands during the 1890s.
