The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa

Archaeologists believe the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa were initiated in the 2nd century A.D. and used for burials over the next 200 years. This period in Alexandria’s history was marked by a rich blend of cultures, alongside the ancient history of Egypt’s great kingdoms.

Pompey’s Pillar - Pompey’s Pillar

Despite its name, Pompey’s Pillar is not related to Pompey. The name stems from the belief that it was the burial site of the Roman general after he fled to Egypt and was assassinated following a defeat in Greece against Caesar. The red granite column likely honors Emperor Diocletian and stands 25 meters high, making it the tallest ancient monument in Alexandria.

The Citadel of Sultan Qeitbay

Built in the 15th century by Mamlouk Sultan Qeitbay, the Citadel was constructed to protect the city from Crusader threats. This remarkable Islamic monument was built using the remnants of the old Lighthouse, constructed by Ptolemy II in the 3rd century B.C. The Lighthouse was damaged during an earthquake in 1303 A.D. during the reign of Mamlouk King Qeitbay.
