EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hamidiye Fountain of Thessaloniki, Greece, is a stunning architectural masterpiece that reflects the rich history and cultural diversity of this beautiful city. Named after His Imperial Majesty, Sultan Abdulhamid II, Emperor of the Ottomans and Caliph of the Faithful (1842-1918), the fountain was built during the late Ottoman period, around 1890. Sultan Abdulhamid II, also known as Abd Al-Hamid II Khan Ghazi and The Crimson Sultan, was a significant figure in Ottoman history, ruling during a time of political and cultural transformation. The Hamidiye Fountain, located on King Constantine Avenue, was a symbol of the Ottoman presence in Thessaloniki. The fountain's intricate design features a central basin surrounded by four smaller basins, each adorned with a lion head spout. The fountain's architecture is a blend of Ottoman and European styles, reflecting the multicultural influences that shaped Thessaloniki. After the end of Ottoman control, the fountain was renamed "The Fountain on King Constantine Avenue." However, it is now officially declared a monument of the Ottoman period and an essential part of Thessaloniki's history. The flags of Greece and Turkey flying high above the fountain are a testament to the shared history and cultural connections between these two neighboring countries. This photograph, taken around 1908, captures the fountain in its glory during the Ottoman era. The image showcases the intricate details of the fountain's design, the vibrant colors of the Ottoman flags, and the bustling activity of the city around it. The Hamidiye Fountain of Thessaloniki is a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity that continues to thrive in this beautiful city.
