EDITORS COMMENTS
Place des Canons, now known as Martyrs Square, is a historic public square located in the heart of Beirut, Lebanon. This photograph, captured circa 1890, offers a glimpse into the past of this vibrant and culturally rich city. The square, named after the cannons that once stood guard there, was a popular gathering place for the French and Ottoman communities in Beirut during the late 19th century. The image shows the square in its full glory, with a lively scene of horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians, and vendors filling the streets. The grand buildings that surround the square, including the French Hospital and the Ottoman-style mosque, reflect the diverse cultural influences that shaped Beirut during this period. The French Hospital, a prominent feature on the left side of the square, was founded in 1868 to provide medical care to the French community in Beirut. The Ottoman-style mosque, located on the right side of the square, is a testament to the city's Islamic heritage. The mosque's intricate architecture and beautiful domes are a reminder of the Ottoman Empire's influence on the region. The square was also home to several cafes and restaurants, making it a popular destination for socializing and entertainment. The photograph captures the bustling energy of the square, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. Today, Martyrs Square remains an important cultural and historical landmark in Beirut. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich past and its ability to overcome adversity, having been the site of numerous protests and demonstrations throughout Lebanon's history. This photograph offers a unique perspective into the history and culture of Beirut during a time of peace and prosperity.
