Serapeum Temple hill

Alexandria 1900 -A1900- Karmoz

This hill is south of Bab Sidra Cemetery (Arabic Cemetery). It has a stone road that winds up it to Pompey's Pillar. Pompeys pillar is surrounded by a low wall, with marble stones under the pillar. Broken statuary litters the area. Several piles of debris cover the area, remnants from the temples that stood here in previous centuries.

To the east and slightly north of the Pillar is the entrance to what remains of the Temple of Hypocratis. It is covered with stones carved to slide away to let members enter. There are also several entrances at the foot of the hill. The lowest levels of this temple are under water.
