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 AD.
The Citadel is situated at the entrance of the eastern harbour on the eastern point of the Pharos Island. It was erected on the exact site of the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The lighthouse continued to function until the time of the Arab conquest, then several disasters occurred and the shape of the lighthouse was changed to some extent, but it still continued to function.

The visit was an amazing experience. Walking into that place felt like delving deep into the pages of history. The plaques in each room are very helpful and they explain what each room was meant for and how it was used. It is quite crowded, to be honest, but then again it is one of, if not the main tourist attraction in Alexandria right next to the Bibliotheca.

This castle is located at the end of Pharos Island (now Al Anfoushi) in the far west of Alexandria, and was built in the place of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria that was destroyed in the year 702 AH following the devastating earthquake that occurred during the reign of Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad bin Qalawun. The honorable Sultan Abu Al-Nasr Qaitbay began building this castle in The year 882 AH, and its construction was completed in the year 884 AH
The reason for his interest in Alexandria was the large number of direct threats to Egypt by the Ottoman Empire, which threatened the entire Arab region, and the Mamluk Sultan Qansuh al-Ghouri took care of the castle and increased its importance and shipped it with weapons.
