The Port Saidi Balconies

I found this wonderful Post from Port Said Online and I love it so much. In the Port Saidi accent the balcony is” tarracina” ,I think this goes back to “Terrace” considering the fact that Port Said like Alexandria was a cosmopolitan city , lots of the terms used in life there were taken from other languages. 

The coming photos were taken by Photographer Atef Zramba in Port Said. He took photos from the balconies and terraces there.The buildings are so old  ,they are so beautiful.They were built from wood and thus We should work on preserving them.We should not wait the government or the Governorate to protect them. This is part of our architectural heritage
