EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time as you approach the Entrance to the Cisterns of Malga in Carthage, Tunisia, captured in this vintage 19th century photograph. The ancient architectural marvel, nestled on a hillside, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this North African city. The arid landscape, dotted with rocks and knolls, gives way to the imposing entrance, framed by the clear blue sky and fluffy clouds. The entrance leads to a series of subterranean reservoirs, once used to collect and store rainwater for the residents of Carthage during dry seasons. The megalithic structure, with its intricate carvings and inscriptions, has stood the test of time, weathering the desert sands and the passing centuries. The image, reminiscent of an era long past, transports us to a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was filled with hidden gems waiting to be discovered. The Cisterns of Malga, with their historical significance and scenic beauty, continue to draw tourists from all corners of the globe, offering a glimpse into the ancient past and a respite from the modern world.
