EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the early 1910s, offering a breathtaking view of Antakya, Turkey, and the Orontes River that borders it with Syria. The panoramic scene presents a picturesque tableau of the ancient city, nestled at the foot of the verdant mountains and valleys. Antakya, also known as Antioch or Antiochia, was a significant cultural and historical center in the ancient world, with a rich heritage that spans thousands of years. The Orontes River, meandering through the landscape, adds a serene and tranquil element to the image, reflecting the clear blue sky above. The mountains and valleys in the background provide a dramatic backdrop, their peaks dusted with snow, hinting at the changing seasons. The image also reveals a scattering of villages and hamlets along the riverbanks, their whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs blending seamlessly into the landscape. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the beauty and charm of Antakya and its surroundings. The image invites us to imagine the daily life of the people who lived in this region during the early 1900s, as they went about their daily routines, tending to their farms, fishing in the river, and engaging in the bustling marketplaces of the city. The scene is a testament to the enduring allure of Antakya and its history, which continues to captivate travelers and historians alike.
