Capital Cypriot Cyprus Famagusta Mediterranean Gazimagusa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of The Beach at Famagusta, Cyprus during the 1940s, a period of British rule in the island nation (between 1878 and 1960). The image portrays a tranquil scene of the sandy bay, with its crystal-clear waters gently lapping against the shore. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the calm Mediterranean Sea. Famagusta, now the capital of the Gazimagusa District in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, was once a popular holiday destination and thriving resort town. The historic city, located on the eastern coast of Cyprus, is steeped in rich history, with its ancient ruins and impressive fortifications. In this photograph, the imposing walls of the Othello Castle can be seen in the background, standing guard over the bay. The castle, a testament to the region's rich history, dates back to the 16th century and is named after the famous Shakespearean play 'Othello,' which is believed to be set in Cyprus. The Beach at Famagusta was a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike, who came to enjoy the sun, sea, and sand. The photograph captures a moment in time, a brief pause in the hustle and bustle of daily life, and offers a glimpse into the past, when The Beach at Famagusta was a cherished retreat for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the history and heritage of Cyprus, a land of beauty and culture that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
