This aerial photograph, taken circa 1900s, showcases the bustling Plaza de la Feria in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands. The image reveals a vibrant scene filled with a mosaic of buildings, churches, and winding streets, all set against the backdrop of the azure sea. The city's rich architectural heritage is evident in the intricate designs of the structures, which feature a unique blend of European and Canarian influences. At the heart of the plaza, the grandiose Las Palmas Cathedral, with its red-tiled roof and ornate bell tower, stands proudly, drawing the eye and serving as a spiritual center for the community. The image also reveals a network of tramlines crisscrossing the city, indicating the importance of public transportation during this era. However, the photograph also highlights the ongoing construction work in the area, as evidenced by the presence of roadworks and the hustle and bustle of workers and pedestrians. The scene underscores the dynamic nature of the city, where progress and tradition coexist, and where the spirit of innovation and growth is ever-present. Despite the construction, the plaza remains a hub of activity, with people going about their daily routines, adding to the rich tapestry of life in Las Palmas. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and character of this beautiful and intriguing city in the Canary Islands.
