EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Baths in the garden of Alcájar, a picturesque town located in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar in the late 19th century. The image transports us back in time, as we gaze upon the open-air pool surrounded by lush vegetation and the delicate arches of a colonnade. The square tower in the background adds a sense of grandeur and history to the scene. The Baths in Alcájar were a popular destination for visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation during the British colonial era. The pool, fed by natural spring water, was believed to have therapeutic properties and attracted tourists from all over Europe. The row of buildings on the left, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, add to the idyllic setting. The lantern-lit path leading to the baths, visible in the foreground, suggests that the baths were open even after dark, allowing visitors to enjoy the tranquility of the garden under the stars. The photograph captures the essence of the Mediterranean climate, with its warm, sunny days and balmy evenings. The Baths in Alcájar remain a popular attraction to this day, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Gibraltar was a thriving British colonial outpost and the Baths were a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
