EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of the setting sun, the historic city of Trabzon in northeastern Turkey presents a breathtaking sight with its Fortress of Guzel-Hissar (the "Good Castle") and the Lighthouse standing proudly on the Black Sea coast. Trabzon, the capital city of Trabzon Province, has a rich history that dates back to ancient times, when it was located on the historic Silk Road route. During the Ottoman period, the city's strategic location and important port made it a focal point of trade with Iran, India, and the Caucasus. The Fortress of Guzel-Hissar, also known as the Trapezium Fortress or the Trebizond Fortress, is a testament to the city's storied past. Perched atop a hill, the fortress offers panoramic views of the sea and the city below. Its imposing walls and towers have stood the test of time, protecting the city from invaders for centuries. The Lighthouse, a beacon of safety and guidance for sailors navigating the treacherous waters of the Black Sea, adds to the city's unique charm. The sandy beach and calm waters of the sea create a serene contrast to the historical significance of the fortress and the lighthouse. Trabzon's sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery make it a popular tourist destination. The city's rich history, cultural heritage, and natural beauty make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in exploring the wonders of Turkey and the Black Sea region. As the sun sets over the horizon, the Fortress of Guzel-Hissar and the Lighthouse at Trabzon stand proudly, a symbol of the city's past, present, and future. This photograph captures the essence of Trabzon's unique character and its enduring allure.
