Qaitbay Citadel:
Standing proudly on the Mediterranean coast, this 15th-century fortress was built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay in 1477 AD to strengthen Alexandria’s coastal defences. It is believed to occupy the site where the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—once stood.
