EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the picturesque village of Kafar Tkerime, located near the ancient city of Aleppo in Syria, stand a unique collection of beehive houses. Dating back to the 1930s, these conical structures have long been a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the local people. The beehive houses of Kafar Tkerime are a distinctive architectural feature of the Middle East, with their distinctive shape and design. Constructed using local materials such as mud, straw, and stone, these houses were built to withstand the harsh summer climate of the region. The conical shape of the houses allows for excellent insulation, keeping the interior cool and comfortable even during the hottest months. The village of Kafar Tkerime has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Neolithic period. However, it was during the Ottoman era that the distinctive beehive houses began to be built. The design was inspired by the natural beehives found in the area, and the houses were named for their resemblance to these hives. Despite the passage of time, the beehive houses of Kafar Tkerime continue to stand proudly, a testament to the resilience and creativity of the people who built them. Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its unique architecture and rich cultural heritage. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the essence of the beehive houses of Kafar Tkerime, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and ingenuity of Syrian architecture.
