EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, the picturesque town of Jounieh (Djounieh), Lebanon, nestles at the foot of the Mount Lebanon range, north of Beirut. The town, with its quaint houses and lush greenery, is situated between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The coastline, dotted with trees and small houses, curves gently around the bay, leading the eye to the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean. The hillside is covered in a dense canopy of trees, their leaves a vibrant green against the blue-grey of the mountains in the background. The town itself is a charming blend of traditional Lebanese architecture and modern buildings, with narrow, winding streets and whitewashed houses adorned with colorful shutters and balconies. The town's most famous landmark, the gondola lift, can be seen in the top right corner of the photograph, ascending the mountain to the shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa. The shrine, a place of pilgrimage for Christians and Muslims alike, is a popular destination for visitors seeking spiritual enlightenment and breathtaking views of the coastline and the sea. Jounieh is known for its lively seaside resorts and nightlife, making it a popular destination for those seeking relaxation and entertainment. The town's rich history and cultural heritage, combined with its natural beauty, make it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Lebanon. This photograph captures the essence of Jounieh, a town where the mountains meet the sea, and where tradition and modernity come together in perfect harmony.
