《官網介紹》
薩拉丁城堡(薩拉丁)是伊斯蘭開羅最具代表性的建築之一,也是中世紀最令人嘆為觀止的防禦工事。坐落於穆卡塔姆山,戰略位置極為優越,防禦工事固若金湯,至今仍能俯瞰開羅全景。
薩拉丁·阿尤比蘇丹於西元1176年(伊斯蘭歷572年)下令在穆卡塔姆山上建造一座城堡,但並未在他生前完工。城堡最終在卡邁勒·伊本·阿德爾蘇丹(公元1207年,伊斯蘭歷604年)統治時期建成,他決定居住於此,成為埃及統治者的正式居所。十九世紀中葉,赫迪夫‧伊斯梅爾將官邸遷至開羅市中心的阿卜丁宮。
從城堡建成到穆罕默德·阿里王朝覆滅,城堡見證了埃及歷史上一些最重要的事件。穆罕默德·阿里王朝自十九世紀初統治埃及,直至1952年革命,現代埃及共和國由此誕生。幾個世紀以來,城堡內增添了許多古蹟,如今為遊客提供了許多參觀景點,例如雄踞城堡中心的穆罕默德·阿里帕夏清真寺。其他值得參觀的景點還包括馬穆魯克蘇丹納西爾·穆罕默德·伊本·卡拉溫清真寺、奧斯曼帝國時期的蘇萊曼·帕夏·哈迪姆清真寺,以及許多博物館,例如警察博物館、賈瓦拉宮博物館和軍事博物館。
The Citadel of Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin) is one of the most iconic monuments in Islamic Cairo, and among the most impressive defensive fortresses dating to the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on the Muqattam Hills gave it a formidable defensive position, and offered, as it still does today, an unrestricted panoramic view of Cairo.
Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi was the first to order the construction of a fortress over the Muqattam Hills in (572 AH/ 1176 AD), but it was not completed during his lifetime. This was achieved during the reign of Sultan al-Kamel ibn al-Adel (604 AH/1207 AD) who decided to reside in it, making it the official residence of the rulers of Egypt. In the mid-nineteenth century, Khedive Ismail moved the official residence to Abdeen Palace in downtown Cairo.
The Citadel witnessed some of the most significant events in Egyptian history from the time it was built to the end of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, which was in power from the early nineteenth century until the 1952 revolution, when the modern Egyptian republic was born. Many monuments were added to the Citadel over the centuries, providing visitors today with an array of places to visit, such as the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, which dominates the Citadel. Other places to visit include the mosque of the Mamluk sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, the Ottoman-era Sulayman Pasha al-Khadim Mosque, as well as a number of museums such as the Police Museum, Al-Jawhara Palace Museum, and the Military Museum.
