Up Egypt » Alexandria-Citadel Slideshow

The Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria is considered one of the most important defensive strongholds, not only in Egypt, but also along the Mediterranean Sea coast. It formulated an important part of the fortification system of Alexandria in the 15th century A.D. The fort was built by Qaitbey (Quait-bey), who ruled Egypt between 1468 and 1496. It is one of the main tourist attractions of Alexandria.
