EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quayside of Thessaloniki, Greece, in the 1910s. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is the second-largest city in Greece and a major cultural melting pot, located in the northern part of the country. In this image, we see the bustling waterfront area teeming with activity. The quay is lined with large, imposing stone walls, providing protection from the sea. A busy harbor scene unfolds before us, with ships anchored at the docks and sailors working alongside them. In the foreground, an electric tram makes its way along the tracks, adding a touch of modernity to the scene. The tram, a symbol of progress, was introduced to Thessaloniki in the late 19th century and revolutionized the way people moved around the city. Thessaloniki's rich history is reflected in the architecture of the buildings along the quayside. The old city walls can be seen in the background, a reminder of the city's long and storied past. Thessaloniki has been inhabited since ancient times and has been ruled by various empires, including the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Greeks. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a bustling port city filled with activity and energy. Thessaloniki's quayside continues to be a popular destination for visitors today, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and modernity.
