Angles of Qutaybay

Stairs of Qalat Qutaybay

Qalat Qutaybay was constructed in Alexandria, Egypt following a Byzantine raid on the port.  I do not know the year.  This impressive castle guarded the mouth to the harbor until the advent of modern warships.  It is now a tourist attraction.  I will be posting several more impressions of Qalat “Castle” Qutaybay.
