EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Thessaloniki, Greece - View from the Sea," dates back to circa 1906 and offers a glimpse into the rich history and beauty of Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city. The image, taken from the water, showcases the city's stunning waterfront, with the crystal-clear Aegean Sea lapping gently against the shore. In the distance, the silhouette of a steamship can be seen, adding a sense of movement and industry to the tranquil scene. At the heart of the photograph lies Thessaloniki's iconic landmarks. Perched atop a hill, the imposing Byzantine walls of the ancient city fortifications stand proudly, their weathered stones bearing the weight of centuries. The city's historic citadel, also known as the Heptapyrgion or the Castle of Seven Towers, can be seen nestled within the walls, its towering structures a testament to the city's storied past. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Salonica, has a rich and complex history that spans over 2,300 years. Founded in 315 BC by Cassander of Macedon, the city has been ruled by various empires, including the Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, and Ottomans, each leaving their indelible mark on its architecture and culture. Today, Thessaloniki is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city, known for its bustling markets, delicious cuisine, and rich cultural heritage. This photograph, with its breathtaking view of Thessaloniki's waterfront and historic landmarks, offers a glimpse into the city's past and its enduring charm. The combination of history, beauty, and industry captured in this image makes it a must-see for anyone with an interest in Greece, European history, or simply the wonders of the world.
