EDITORS COMMENTS
Al-Salihiyah (Salehiye), a captivating neighborhood nestled at the foot of Mount Qasioun in Damascus, Syria, is depicted in this evocative photograph dating back to circa 1910. The mountain range, known as Qasioun, looms majestically in the background, its peaks shrouded in a light mist. The houses of Al-Salihiyah, with their distinctive red-tiled roofs, cling to the mountain's slopes, creating a picturesque scene of terraced architecture. The village, a blend of traditional Syrian and Ottoman influences, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Damascus. The houses, some with ornate wooden balconies and intricate stonework, are interspersed with lush gardens and olive groves, adding to the idyllic setting. The narrow, winding streets, lined with trees and dotted with small shops and cafes, offer a glimpse into the daily life of the community. This photograph captures the essence of Al-Salihiyah, a charming and historic neighborhood that continues to captivate visitors to Damascus.
