EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1929, showcases The Gateway leading into the sacred town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun in northern Morocco. The image transports us back in time to the 1920s, an era marked by a sense of adventure and discovery. The Gateway, with its intricately carved arches and ornate geometric patterns, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, a town nestled in the Rif Mountains, is considered one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Morocco. It is believed that the town was founded by Moulay Idriss I, the founder of the Idrissid Dynasty in the 8th century. The town's holiness stems from the fact that Moulay Idriss I is said to have brought the prophet Muhammad's robe to Morocco, making it a place of great significance for Moroccan Muslims. The photograph captures the essence of the town's mystical allure, with the Gateway serving as a threshold between the mundane world and the spiritual realm. The dusty, winding path leading up to the Gateway is a reminder of the journey that pilgrims have undertaken for centuries to reach this sacred site. The rugged terrain and the vast expanse of the landscape beyond the Gateway add to the sense of isolation and serenity. This photograph is a visual feast for anyone interested in Moroccan history, culture, and architecture. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure and the world was full of wonder and discovery.
