The Citadel of Qaitbay: Alexandria’s Guardian of the Mediterranean

The Citadel of Qaitbay Alexandria’s Guardian of the Mediterranean

The Citadel of Qaitbay stands as a 15th-century masterpiece of Mamluk military architecture, occupying the exact site of the legendary Pharos Lighthouse on Alexandria’s Mediterranean coast. Built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay between 1477 and 1479 AD, the fortress serves as a physical bridge between the ancient and medieval worlds by incorporating massive granite blocks from the ruined Lighthouse into its own foundations. The structure features a unique concentric defense system, a three-story square keep, and one of the oldest mosques in the city, all designed to shield Egypt from naval invasions. Beyond its golden limestone ramparts, the surrounding seabed remains a vast underwater archaeological field where colossal statues and ancient debris still rest, cementing the Citadel’s status as the eternal sentinel of the “Pearl of the Mediterranean.”

Memphis: History of Egypt’s First Capital (The City of White Walls)

Founded by King Menes around 3100 BC to unify the North and South, it served as the administrative heart of the country for over three millennia. Known as “The White Walls,” it was the home of the creator god Ptah and the coronation site of pharaohs. Although it was eventually dismantled to build modern Cairo, its ruins at Mit Rahina and its necropolis at Saqqara remain vital witnesses to its former glory.
