EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of the Kintera-ben-el-Meddouk Bridge and the mills in the heart of the Medina of Fes, Morocco, circa 1928. The bridge, named after the 13th-century Sultan Abul Hassan Ali ibn Uthman Al-Attar, spans the River Sebou and connects the two banks of the ancient city. In the foreground, the millstones, essential for grinding grains and producing flour, are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, their massive stones turning slowly with the gentle current of the river. The mills have been a vital part of Fes's rich cultural heritage for centuries, supplying the city's inhabitants with essential foodstuffs. The photograph's composition invites the viewer to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life in the Medina, with traders and merchants crossing the bridge, and the sounds of the millstones grinding in the background. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when tradition and history were deeply intertwined in the daily life of this enchanting Moroccan city.
