EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the ancient city of Aleppo, near Syria, where history and architectural marvels intertwine. The image captures the mesmerizing interior of the ruins of the Basilica of St Simeon, also known as Qalaat Samaan. As we gaze upon this remarkable sight, we are immediately struck by a sense of awe and wonder. The grandeur and intricate details that once adorned this sacred place are still evident amidst its crumbling walls. The play of light filtering through the broken windows creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. The Basilica itself holds immense historical significance in both architecture and religion. Built during the 5th century AD, it was dedicated to Saint Simeon Stylites—a revered ascetic who spent years atop a pillar nearby in devotion to his faith. In this photograph, we witness the remnants of an extraordinary structure that stood tall for centuries before succumbing to time's relentless passage and unfortunate conflicts that have plagued this region. It serves as a poignant reminder of Syria's rich cultural heritage and resilience amid adversity. This image invites us to reflect on our shared human history while evoking a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and artistry displayed within these ancient walls. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past as they remind us not only of what has been lost but also inspire hope for preservation and restoration efforts worldwide.
