This photograph, taken circa 1940, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling heart of Fez, Morocco's ancient city. The image, titled "Place du Commerce," showcases the Commercial Square, a central hub of activity and social interaction. The square is dominated by the grand Hotel du Commerce, a historic building that once served as a gathering place for European travelers and diplomats. Adjacent to the hotel is the iconic Café de la Poste, a popular meeting spot for locals and visitors alike. The photograph reveals a lively scene, with the pavement teeming with activity. Cars line the streets, their tires leaving tracks in the dusty road. People can be seen going about their daily routines, from washing clothes on a nearby line to engaging in animated conversations. In the background, the minarets of the city's many mosques pierce the sky, a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that defines Fez. The photograph's aerial perspective provides a unique vantage point, allowing us to appreciate the intricate layout of the city and the harmonious blend of architectural styles. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of this enchanting North African city.
