It is located in the old Serapeum of Alexandria, a temple dedicated to the god Serapis and it is one of the very famous attractions in Alexandria. The Column stands for about 27 meters and it is made of red granite from Aswan similar to Hatshepsut Obelisk in Karnak. Also, there are some artifacts in the area such as a basin used for purification, and the black statue of basalt that dates back to the reign of Hadrian, representing the God Serapis in the shape of a bull.

    Bibliotheca Alexandrina

    The ancient Alexandria Library was the most famous in the classical world and housed a vast collection of scrolls and manuscripts. But the Bibliotheca Alexandrina or the modern Alexandria Library was inaugurated in 2002 as a revival of the ancient Library. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina includes several museums such as the Antiquities Museum, Manuscript Museum, Science Museum, Children Museum, and Sadat Museum.

The Citadel was built during the Reign of the Mameluke Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qaitbay in the 15th century. Unfortunately, it was damaged by a series of earthquakes between 956 and 1323.
