EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a partial view of the Soufanieh Bridge and the historic Gate of Bab-Touma in Damascus, Syria. Dating back to the 1910s, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city. Bab Touma, also known as Thomass Gate, is one of the historic gates inside the Old City of Damascus. Named after Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, this gate is a significant landmark that adds to the allure of Damascus. The gate is located in the Touma borough, a vibrant and bustling neighborhood that is home to many Syrian Christians. The Soufanieh Bridge, which can be seen in the background of the photograph, is another iconic feature of Damascus. This bridge, which spans the Barada River, has been a vital part of the city's infrastructure for centuries. It has played a crucial role in connecting different parts of the city and facilitating the movement of people and goods. The historical walls of Damascus, which can be seen in the distance, add to the charm of this photograph. These walls, which date back to the 16th century, have protected the city from invaders for centuries. They are a testament to the resilience and strength of the Syrian people and their rich history. This photograph is a reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in Damascus, a city that has endured through the test of time. It invites us to explore the winding streets of the Old City, to discover its hidden treasures, and to appreciate the unique cultural heritage of Syria.
