EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1898, showcases the enchanting view of Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city, under the soft glow of moonlight. The White Tower, a historic landmark and the most iconic symbol of Thessaloniki, stands proudly on the right side of the image. Originally built as a fortress during the Ottoman Empire in the late 15th century, the White Tower has undergone numerous transformations throughout history, serving as a prison, a museum, and a cultural monument. The tranquil waters of the Thermaic Gulf reflect the moonlit sky, creating a mesmerizing panorama that transports us back to the late 19th century. The city's vibrant past is mirrored in the shimmering waters, where various civilizations and cultures have left their indelible marks. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Salonika, has a rich history that spans over 2,300 years. It has been ruled by the Romans, the Byzantines, the Venetians, the Ottomans, and the Greeks, making it a melting pot of diverse influences. The city's multicultural heritage is evident in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the history and beauty of Thessaloniki, a city that continues to captivate visitors with its unique charm and allure.
