The Third Floor, the Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria, Egypt.
It consists of group of passages containing 28 squares rooms for watching the ships of enemies which entered the harbor and also to store weapons, guns, and other fighting tools.
When Mohammed Ali became the ruler of Egypt in 1805, he renovated the old Citadel, restoring and repairing its outer ramparts, and he provided the stronghold with the most modern weapons of the period, particularly the littoral cannons. We can consider the reign of Mohamed Ali as being another golden era for the Citadel.
The Citadel retained the interest of Mohammed Ali's successors until the year 1882 when the Orabi revolution took place.
