EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Place de la Casbah in Tangier, Morocco, circa 1910s. The postcard, now a vintage treasure, transports us to the bustling heart of this North African coastal city during the early 20th century. The Casbah, or Kasbah, was the historic fortified quarter of Tangier, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. In this photograph, we see the lively square at its center, where locals and travelers alike gathered to socialize, trade, and celebrate. The square's cobblestone paving stones are filled with horse-drawn carriages, vendors selling their wares, and people in traditional Moroccan attire. The architecture of the buildings surrounding the square is a beautiful blend of Moorish and European influences. Ornate arches, colorful tiles, and intricate ironwork are juxtaposed with red-tiled roofs and European-style balconies. The square's central fountain, adorned with intricate tilework, adds a refreshing touch to the scene. The vibrant atmosphere of Place de la Casbah is further emphasized by the bustling activity of the city beyond. The photograph captures the sounds of the marketplace, the smells of spices and freshly baked bread, and the sights of the bustling streets. This postcard is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Tangier during the 1910s, a time when the city was a popular destination for European travelers and expatriates. Today, Place de la Casbah remains a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to experience the unique charm and vibrant energy of Morocco's coastal gem.
