EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Qala-i-Ikhtiyar-ud-din Citadel in Herat, Afghanistan. Originally constructed by the legendary Alexander the Great, this architectural marvel took its present form under Malik Fakhruddin's guidance in 1305 A. D. Throughout history, this fortress has witnessed countless conquerors and endured numerous attacks from various empires including Ghegnis Khan, Tamerlane, Ghaznavids, Seljuks, Ghorids, Monghuls, Timurids, Safavids and many others. Today, the responsibility of preserving this historical gem lies with the department of Historical Monuments under Afghanistan's Ministry of Information Culture and Tourism. The Citadel stands tall as a testament to centuries of resilience against adversity. In Jane Sweeney's expertly captured image print, we are transported to a time where dominance was defined by towering brown walls that have withstood the test of time. The Middle Eastern region is known for its rich history and stunning architecture; this photograph encapsulates both elements flawlessly. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry through Jane Sweeney's lens at EyeUbiquitous gallery - let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also acknowledge its significance as a symbol of strength and endurance throughout Afghan history.
