Juneau is the capital of the U.S. state of Alaska and has a population of approximately 32.000 inhabitants. The city was founded in the late 19th century during a gold rush and named after the gold prospector Joe Juneau. Long before European settlers arrived in the region, the area was home to the Tlingit people, who continue to play an important role in the region’s culture and identity to this day. Their traditions, artwork, and stories shape Juneau’s cultural life and are featured in museums and cultural institutions. Among the most famous attractions are the impressive Mendenhall Glacier, located just a few miles from downtown, the historic downtown area with its Gold Rush-era buildings, and the Goldbelt Tram, which offers sweeping views of the city, the mountains, and the coast. You’ll also find beautiful urban artworks in the streets. The photos were taken by traveller and streetart lover MAZZANTI.
