EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a serene moment in the history of Bitola, Macedonia, circa 1916. The image presents an intriguing scene at the entrance of a corner in the old town, which was then known as Monastir. A grand archway, adorned with intricate stonework and a wrought-iron gate, invites us into the heart of this vibrant and historic community. The weathered wall on the left of the frame, with its faded red paint and peeling plaster, bears witness to the passage of time. The cobblestone street beyond the gateway is bustling with activity, as people go about their daily lives. The town's unique architecture is on full display, with red-tiled roofs, ornate balconies, and colorful shutters adding to the visual appeal. Bitola, located in the southern part of Macedonia, was a significant cultural and economic center during the early 20th century. Its rich history is reflected in its diverse population, which included Christians, Muslims, and Jews. The town was also a melting pot of various European influences, as evidenced by the architecture and the diverse array of languages and customs. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a corner of Bitola during the World War I era. The scene is a testament to the resilience and vibrancy of this historic town, which continues to captivate visitors with its unique charm and rich heritage.
