EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image captured by Ethel Davies in 2003, the enchanting harbor of Nauplion, or Nafplio, in the Peloponnese region of Greece, comes alive with the vibrant hues of the 21st century. The ancient Bourtzi Castle, a testament to the rich history of this coastal town, sits majestically in the heart of the harbor. Originally built in the 15th century as a Venetian fortress, the Bourtzi Castle has undergone various transformations throughout the centuries, serving as a fortress, a prison, and even a military academy. The castle's striking silhouette, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and imposing towers, stands in stark contrast against the clear blue waters of the harbor. The Fortress of Palamidi, another historic fortification, can be seen towering above the town on the hill in the background. The lush greenery and picturesque houses of Nauplion add to the scene's idyllic charm. This photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the unique blend of ancient and modern elements that define Nauplion's character. As a significant historical and cultural center in the Peloponnese peninsula, Nauplion continues to draw visitors from around the world who seek to explore its rich heritage and breathtaking beauty. Ethel Davies' image beautifully encapsulates the essence of this remarkable location, inviting us to imagine the stories and secrets that lie within its walls.
