Kayetbey Citadel
This castle is located at the end of Faros Island in the far west of Alexandria. EGYPT
And was built in the place of the ancient Alexandria, which was destroyed in 702 AH after the devastating earthquake that occurred during the reign of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun. Sultan al-Ashraf Abu al-Nasr Qaitbay began building this castle in 882 AH and completed its construction in 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. The Mamluk Sultan Qansoh al-Ghouri took care of the castle, increasing its importance and shipping it with weapons.
