EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a general view of Blida, an ancient city in Algeria, as seen from the Fort of Mimich during the 1910s. Two men, dressed in European attire, stand at the edge of the fortification, gazing intently at the picturesque scene below. The hilltop fort, with its rugged ruins and imposing walls, provides a striking contrast to the lush, green landscape of Blida spread out before them. Blida, located in the north of Algeria, has a rich history that spans over three millennia. It was a significant military stronghold during the Roman occupation and later served as a strategic point for various battles throughout history. The city's strategic location at the foot of the Djurdjura Mountains made it a valuable possession for various empires and civilizations, including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Ottomans. The Fort of Mimich, also known as the Fort of the Dead, played a crucial role in the defense of Blida. It was built in the 18th century by the Ottomans to protect against invading European forces. The fort's name is believed to have originated from the Arabic word "mimish," which means "dead," due to the large number of Ottoman soldiers who lost their lives during the defense of the fort. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can almost hear the whispers of history as the two men contemplate the beauty and significance of the landscape before them. The fort, the hills, and the city of Blida have borne witness to countless events and battles throughout history, making this scene a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Algeria and North Africa.
