EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting Court of Maison Lisbona in Damascus, Syria, circa 1905. The Maison Lisbona was once the residence of the affluent Lisbona family, who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Damascus. Later, the house became the esteemed location for the Maimonides School, a prestigious educational institution named after the renowned Jewish philosopher and scholar, Maimonides. The image reveals a stunning courtyard, filled with lush greenery and adorned with tall, ancient trees. The central fountain, with its crystal-clear water, reflects the intricate arches and columns that surround it, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. The women in traditional Syrian attire, gathered around the well, add a sense of life and vibrancy to the scene. The Maison Lisbona's courtyards were renowned for their beauty and tranquility, offering a sanctuary from the bustling streets of Damascus. The courtyards were also a symbol of the rich cultural heritage and diversity that characterized the city during the early 1900s. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the historical significance of the Maison Lisbona and its role in the Jewish community of Damascus. It also highlights the beauty and allure of traditional Syrian architecture and the enduring connection between the people and their environment.
