The Egyptian environment play a significant role in creating effective conditions for the creativity of the human

aspects of Egyptian civilization .. and shares multi-configuration and the ability and speed of response and self-

superiority of the Egyptian man on the superiority of civilization .. and of the most important characterized the

Egyptian man is large creation and architectural huge and perhaps the greatest of these constructions is the Bay

citadel in Alexandria and was established by “Sultan Al-malik Al-ashraf Abu-nasr Qaitbay” at the eastern end of

the island of pharos in the late Mamluk state and because Bay citadel is one of the most important castles on the

coast of the Mediterranean was concerned with the sultans and Egypt's rulers over the centuries and led the

sultan “Qansuh Ghury” and increased the strength of its garrison and shipped arms and equipment because it

was considered the center of the defense of Egypt gate and north coast ........ have built a castle on an area

of 17,550 square meters and has built on this area of the walls of the outer fortress and the persistence of war

and is a set of fences built to further fortify the castle and on the other equines is Bay citadel of the most

important effects found in the city of Alexandria (bride of the white sea” average) is located in an area close to

the most important shrines of Alexandria and the Alexandria library is on the one hand and the mosque of Abu

Abbas marina and famous mosques next to it on the other hand, due the importance of the castle it was built on

the ruins of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria is one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.

THE POWER May be contained in our minds that the arc is for the

fight only , but in Alexandria resides another arc that

contains within it a lot of history, culture and secrets and

the evidence in this when your finger automatically points

towards this arc,, you may accidentally start with the

history where the castle the protective shield of the

country's history and end with the culture,

OF ARCthe library, which has preserved this history in the

papers that survived from the fire before. we will

be touching in the next issues what was found in

the edge of this arc, and what was received by

the history of the coming waves of the sea that

are filled with secrets that are already preserved

in the archaeological area

Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Plutarch (AD 46–120) wrote that during

his visit to Alexandria in 48 BC Julius

Caesar accidentally burned the library

down when he set fire to his own ships to

frustrate Achillas' attempt to limit his

ability to communicate by sea. After its

destruction, scholars used a "daughter

library" in a temple known as

theSerapeum, located in another part of

the city.

Intended both as a commemoration and an

emulation of the original, the Bibliotheca

Alexandrina was inaugurated in 2002 near

the site of the old library.

The Royal Library of Alexandria, or Ancient Library of

Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, was the largest and

most significant great library of the ancient world. It

flourished under the patronage of the Ptolemaic

dynasty and functioned as a major center of

scholarship from its construction in the 3rd century

BC until the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC. The

library was conceived and opened either during the

reign of Ptolemy I Soter (323–283 BC) or during

the reign of his son Ptolemy II (283–246 BC).

Judaism

Alexandria's once-flourishing Jewish community is now

almost extinct after the Arab nationalist movement spurred

most to leave for Israel, France, Brazil and other countries in

the 1950s and 1960s. The community once numbered 50,000

but is now estimated at below 50. The most

important synagogue in Alexandria is the Eliyahu Hanavi

Mostafa Kamel, Al Qa'ed Ibrahim Mosque, Yehia mosque in

Zizinia, Sidi Gaber mosque in Sidi Gaber, and Sultan mosque.

Islam

Most of the citizens of Alexandria adhere to the religion of Islam.

The most famous mosque in Alexandria is El-Mursi Abul Abbas

Mosque in Bahary. Other notable mosques in the city include Ali ibn

Abi Talib mosque in Somouha, Bilal mosque, al-Gamaa al-Bahari in

Mandara, Hatem mosque in Somouha, Hoda el-Islam mosque in Sidi

Bishr, al-Mowasah mosque in Hadara, Sharq al-Madina mosque in

Miami, al-Shohadaa mosque in Mostafa Kamel, Al Qa'ed Ibrahim

Mosque, Yehia mosque in Zizinia, Sidi Gaber mosque in Sidi Gaber,

and Sultan mosque

Christianity

After Rome, Alexandria was considered the major seat of Christianity in the world. The Pope of

Alexandria was the second among equals, second only to the bishop of Rome, the capital of

the Roman Empire until 430. The Church of Alexandria had jurisdiction over the entire continent of

Africa. After the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451, the Church of Alexandria was split between

the Miaphysites and the Melkites. The Miaphysites went on to constitute what is known today as the

Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. The Melkites went on the constitute what is known today as

the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria. In the 19th century, Catholic and Protestant missionaries

converted some of the adherents of the Orthodox churches to their respective faiths.

Today, the patriarchal seat of the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church is Saint Mark Cathedral in

Ramleh. The most important Coptic Orthodox churches in Alexandria include Pope Cyril I Church in

Cleopatra, Saint Georges Church in Sporting, Saint Mark & Pope Peter I Church in Sidi Bishr, Saint

Mary Church in Assafra, Saint Mary Church in Gianaclis, Saint Mina Church in Fleming, Saint Mina

Church in Mandara, and Saint Takla Haymanot's Church in Ibrahimeya.

The most important Greek Orthodox churches in Alexandria are Saint Anargyri Church, Church of

the Annunciation, Saint Anthony Church, Archangels Gabriel & MichaelChurch, Saint Catherine

Church, Cathedral of the Dormition in Mansheya, Church of the Dormition, Prophet Elijah Church,

Saint Georges Church, Church of the Immaculate Conception in Ibrahemeya, Saint Joseph Church in

Fleming, Saint Joseph of Arimathea Church, Saint Mark & Saint Nectarios Chapel in Ramleh, Saint

Nicholas Church, Saint Paraskevi Church, Saint Sava Cathedral in Ramleh, and Saint

Theodore Chapel. In communion with the Greek Orthodox Church is the Russian Orthodox church

of Saint Alexander Nevsky in Alexandria, which serves the Russian speaking community in the city.

Churches that follow the Latin Catholic rite include Saint Catherine Church in Mansheya and Church

of the Jesuits in Cleopatra. The Saint Mark Church in Shatby, found as part of Collège Saint Marc is

multi-denominational and hold liturgies according to Latin Catholic, Coptic Catholic and Coptic

Orthodox rites.
