Mustapha Pasha Barracks, Alexandria, Egypt - A Glimpse into the Past This evocative postcard image transports us back in time to the early 20th century and the Mustapha Pasha Barracks in Alexandria, Egypt. Dated circa 1910, this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and military heritage of this North African city. The Mustapha Pasha Barracks, named after the Ottoman-Egyptian governor Mustafa Pasha, served as a significant military installation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The grandiose building, with its red-tiled roofs and intricate architectural details, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The barracks were not only a symbol of military power but also a testament to the blending of European and Middle Eastern architectural styles that characterized Alexandria during this period. The postcard reveals a bustling scene, with soldiers in uniforms drilling in the courtyard, while others are seen relaxing and socializing. The presence of European officers and their families, as well as local Egyptian soldiers, reflects the multicultural nature of the Egyptian military during this time. This photograph offers a unique perspective into the daily life of the Mustapha Pasha Barracks and the diverse community that resided there. It also serves as a reminder of the significant role that Alexandria and Egypt played in the broader history of North Africa and the Middle East during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
