EDITORS COMMENTS
Damascus, the ancient and enchanting capital city of Syria, is nestled among verdant hills and valleys, with the Barada River (also known as the Abana or Amanah River) meandering through its heart. This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the timeless beauty of Damascus as it once was. The Barada River, a vital source of water for the city, is seen here flowing gracefully along the banks, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the warm glow of the sun. The riverside is adorned with lush vegetation and tall trees, providing a serene and idyllic setting. The Raiverbank, an elegant stone bridge, spans the river, connecting the Old City with the modern quarters. The bridge, with its intricate arches and graceful curves, is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Damascus. The city's iconic landmarks, such as the Umayyad Mosque and the ancient citadel, can be glimpsed in the distance, adding to the photograph's allure. Damascus, with its vibrant markets, historic sites, and warm hospitality, has long been a melting pot of cultures and a beacon of history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of Damascus as a city of enchantment and timeless beauty.
