EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard view of Las Palmas, the vibrant capital city of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. Dated circa 1890s, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural charm of the city during the late 19th century. The postcard begins with a panoramic view of the city's picturesque harbor, Puerto de la Luz, where colorful boats dot the calm waters. The natural beauty of the harbor is contrasted by the bustling activity of the port, with people and goods being loaded and unloaded from ships. Next, the postcard reveals the stunning Cathedral of Santa Ana, a Gothic-Revival masterpiece that dominates the city skyline. Constructed between 1517 and 1596, the cathedral is a testament to the city's rich history and religious heritage. Its intricate facade, with its ornate arches and towering spires, is a sight to behold. The postcard then takes us to Plaza Santa Ana, the heart of the city's social and cultural life. The plaza is filled with lush greenery, shaded benches, and historic buildings, creating an inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. The image captures the bustling energy of the plaza, with people gathered around the fountain, children playing, and vendors selling their wares. Finally, the postcard offers a view of the city's outskirts, where traditional Canarian architecture can be seen. The whitewashed buildings with their red-tiled roofs and wrought-iron balconies are a distinctive feature of the Canary Islands. The image also reveals the rolling hills and lush greenery that surround the city, highlighting the unique natural beauty of Gran Canaria. This postcard is a treasure trove of historical and architectural details, offering a glimpse into the past of Las Palmas and the Canary Islands. Its timeless charm continues to captivate and inspire, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of this fascinating destination.
