The Qaitby Citadel, Alexandria, Egypt

Uploaded by Akaroussa on Oct 17, 2009
The Qaitbay Citadel established By Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay in ( 884 A H - 1477 A D). About 1480 A.D, the Mameluke Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay fortified the place as part of his coastal defensive edifices against the Turks, who were threatening Egypt at that time. He built the castle and placed a Mosque inside it. The Citadel continued to function during most of the Mameluke period, the Ottoman period and the Modern period, but after the British bombardment of the city of Alexandria in 1883, it was kept out of the spotlight. It became neglected until the 20th century, when it was restored several times by the Egyptian Supreme Counsel of Antiquities.
