As you descend into the underground tunnels, you'll marvel at the intricate carvings and sculptures that adorn the walls.
Pompey's Pillar
"Pompey's Pillar: A Monumental Marvel' The pillar was constructed in honor of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, but it is named after the Roman general Pompey, who was erroneously believed to have been buried at the site. In reality, the pillar was erected in the late 3rd century AD, long after Pompey's death. Today, Pompey's Pillar is one of the most recognizable landmarks of Alexandria and a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase inside the pillar to reach the top, where they can enjoy panoramic views of the city and the surrounding landscape. The site also features a small museum that showcases artifacts related to the history of Alexandria and the Greco-Roman era.
