EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the enchanting waterfront of Thessaloniki, Greece, with the Garden of Union and Progress (Jardin du Progres) and the iconic White Tower proudly standing at its heart. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Thessalonica, is Greece's second-largest city and a vibrant cultural melting pot, nestled in the northern part of the country. The Garden of Union and Progress, a beautiful green oasis, is located near the waterfront and was established in 1888. The name of the garden reflects the city's multicultural heritage, as it was created by the Committee of Union and Progress, an organization that aimed to unite the diverse population of Thessaloniki. The garden is adorned with lush vegetation, winding paths, and a serene pond, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling city life. In the background, the iconic White Tower looms majestically. This historic landmark, originally built in the 15th century, has served various purposes throughout history, including a fortress, a prison, and a lighthouse. The tower was extensively renovated in the late 19th century and is now a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Thessaloniki's rich history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and allure of Thessaloniki's waterfront and its historical landmarks. The Garden of Union and Progress and the White Tower continue to be cherished by locals and tourists alike, making Thessaloniki a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture, and natural beauty.
