It is one of the city’s most important tombs and was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World during the medieval period.

• Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral - This cathedral is the historical seat of the Pope of Alexandria, the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Saint Mark’s Cathedral stands on the site of the church founded by St. Mark the Evangelist in AD 60. St. Mark, the author of the second Gospel, is closely associated with Alexandria from the earliest Christian traditions. Coptic Christians believe he arrived in Alexandria around AD 60 and stayed for about seven years, during which he converted many to Christianity and performed numerous miracles.

• Pompey’s Pillar - Pompey’s Pillar in Alexandria is a Roman triumphal column and the largest of its kind. It was constructed outside the imperial capitals of Rome and Constantinople. Pompey’s Pillar is the only known free-standing column in Roman Egypt and is not composed of drums. It is indeed one of the largest ancient monoliths. Visitors can pass by Pompey’s Pillar and take photos from outside.

• Bibliotheca Alexandrina - The library is a massive cylinder emerging from the ground at a shallow angle, approximately 130 feet (40 meters) from the Mediterranean Sea. Its disk-shaped roof symbolizes the sun rising over the Mediterranean, and the pattern of aluminum and glass panels resembles a microchip. One outer wall consists of about 6,400 granite panels inscribed with characters from all known alphabets. The Alexandria Library is closed on Fridays, but visitors can take photos from outside.

• Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Al Mursi Abu Al Abbas Mosque was primarily built in 1775 over the tomb of a Spanish scholar and saint. It stands on Mosque Square, overlooking the eastern harbor. Al Mursi Abu Al Abbas, born to a wealthy family in the Andalusia region of Spain in 1219, left for Tunisia in 1242 due to increasing Christian control of Spain. He later moved to Alexandria, a popular destination for Muslim scholars at the time. Al Mursi Abu Al Abbas lived in Alexandria for 43 years as a scholar and teacher until his death in 1286.

• Alexandria Unknown Naval Soldier Memorial - Located in the Mansheya area of Alexandria, this memorial was built by the Italian community as a tribute to Khedive Ismail for his significant role in Egypt’s developmental and urban renaissance during his reign from 1863 to 1879. It also honors Egypt for hosting the last king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III, after his abdication, as he chose Alexandria as his residence. The design resembles the Unknown Soldier memorial in Venice Square, Rome.
