EDITORS COMMENTS
The Port of Oran and the Murdjajo Hill: A Scenic View of Algeria's Mediterranean Coast (circa 1910s) This photograph captures the breathtaking view of The Port of Oran and the Murdjajo Hill in Algeria, North Africa. The image, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the bustling port and the majestic hill with Fort Santa Cruz at its summit. The Port of Oran, a significant commercial and military harbor, is nestled between the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the rugged coastline. The ships anchored in the harbor, with their sails unfurled, add to the scene's vibrant energy and dynamism. The port's strategic location has made it a vital gateway for trade between Europe and Africa for centuries. Dominating the background of the photograph is the Murdjajo Hill, also known as Mourdjajo or Mourdjujo. The hill's steep slopes are covered with lush vegetation, providing a stark contrast to the barren coastline. At the top of the hill stands Fort Santa Cruz, a historical fortification that has witnessed many battles and played a crucial role in protecting the city from invasions. The combination of the bustling port, the majestic hill, and the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea creates a stunning landscape that is both serene and invigorating. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Algeria and the Mediterranean coast.
