1847 Algeria Bejaia Bougie Bugia Gulf Kabyle Kabylia Kabylie Plain Ramparts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the breathtaking view of the Plain of Bejaia, or Bougie, as it was known in the 19th century, from the historic ramparts of the city in Kabylia, north eastern Algeria. The Plain, situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Chaouen Mountains, has been an important agricultural region since ancient times, with its fertile soil and abundant water sources. The photograph, taken in 1847, offers a glimpse into the past, with the Gulf of Bejaia shimmering in the distance and the rolling hills of the plain stretching out before the viewer. The city of Bejaia, with its whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs, can be seen nestled at the foot of the mountains. The ramparts, a remnant of the city's rich history, provide a vantage point from which to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the landscape. Soldiers can be seen standing guard, their uniforms a stark contrast to the lush greenery and vibrant colors of the plain below. Bejaia, also known as Bugia or Kabylla, has a rich and complex history, with influences from Phoenicians, Romans, Turks, and Europeans. The city was a major trading center and a cultural melting pot, with a diverse population of Arabs, Berbers, Europeans, and Jews. Today, the Plain of Bejaia remains an important agricultural region, with olive groves, vineyards, and vegetable farms covering much of the land. The city itself is a popular tourist destination, with its historic sites, beautiful beaches, and vibrant markets attracting visitors from around the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of this fascinating region in north Africa.
