EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting old houses of Braga, a city straddling the border between Spain and Portugal. Dating back to the late 19th century, this image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of these two European countries. The photograph features a charming fountain with intricately designed steps left in the foreground, adding a touch of tranquility and elegance to the scene. The octagonal house with its distinctive pointed roof and lantern, located on the right, stands out as a testament to the unique architectural styles that can be found in this region. Braga, a city steeped in history and culture, is located in the northwest of Portugal and has been a significant religious and cultural center for over 2,000 years. The city's old quarter, which is home to many of these beautiful old houses, is a popular tourist destination. The Spanish influence is evident in the architecture of some of the houses, particularly in the use of pointed arches and red-tiled roofs. Portugal, on the other hand, is known for its Manueline architecture, which is characterized by intricate stone carvings and maritime motifs. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, which showcases the beauty and diversity of Portugal and Spain. The collection, which dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of these two fascinating countries.
