The Bibliotheca Alexandria is a large and beautiful piece of modern architecture that was built in the 21st century. You could look for it on Alexandria’s Corniche. But there are parts of the building that look like they belong to much older buildings.

As part of this project, a library and a cultural centre were both built and opened at the same time.

Most people agree that the battles between the German armoured division led by Field Marshall Erwin Rommel and the British army were key to deciding who won the war. The outcome of the war depended on these tank battles, and they were also some of the biggest of their kind during WWII.
