EDITORS COMMENTS
The ancient walls of Kayseri Castle, an enduring testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey's Anatolian region, are depicted in this photograph from the 1910s. Kayseri, a city located in central Anatolia, has long been a melting pot of civilizations, with a history that can be traced back to antiquity. The castle, first mentioned in a coin during the rule of Gordian III between 238 and 244 AD, stands as a proud symbol of the city's past. The walls, weathered by time and the elements, tell a story of the many invasions and occupations that shaped the city's destiny. The Seljuk period, in particular, left a lasting impact on Kayseri, as evidenced by the numerous historical monuments that still stand today. The intricate designs and patterns etched into the stones of the walls speak to the artistic achievements of the Seljuks and the other civilizations that came before and after them. As you gaze upon this image of the ancient walls of Kayseri Castle, you can almost hear the whispers of the past, the footsteps of the many people who have walked these hallowed grounds before you. The castle, with its imposing presence and commanding view of the city below, stands as a reminder of the enduring power of history and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and celebrating the historical and cultural treasures that make Turkey and its cities like Kayseri so unique and special.
