This fortress was established by Sultan Al-Ashraf Abu Al-Nasr Qaitbay Al-Mahmoudi in the year 882 AH / 1477 AD in the place of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria at the eastern edge of the island of Pharos in the late Mamluk state. The second is octagonal and the third is circular, and the top of the lighthouse is covered by a dome, and above it is the statue of the god Poseidon, the god of the seas and oceans with a triple thorn, famous among the Greeks. It has a very smooth surface that works like a mirror suspended and below it a fireplace, and it reflects the light emitted by the fire over a distance of about 20 km in the water to guide ships coming to Alexandria, and its walls are 4.5 meters thick.
