The Attarine Mosque also known as the Mosque of St. Athanasius or the Mosque of a Thousand Columns was a Catholic Church-turned mosque that is situated in the Attarine District in Alexandria. The former church was built in 370 AD and is dedicated to St. Athanasius of Alexandria. When Islam came to Egypt, the church was converted to a small mosque. [1] Roman RuleIn 370 AD, The Church of St. Athanasius was built. Islamic ConquestOn November 8, 641 AD, Alexandria fell into Muslim control by the caliph, Umar after a 14-month siege under the leadership of Amr ibn al-As when the Byzantine Empire surrendered the city and a treaty was signed. Since then, the church was turned into a mosque by the Muslims. Napoleonic ExpeditionIn 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte led the French campaign in Egypt and Syria. The Attarine Mosque was once thought by the French to house the Tomb of Alexander the Great. Vivant Denon's drawing of the mosque courtyard depicted a small octagonal building housing a sarcophagus closely resembling the "House of Alexander the Great" which leads to speculations whether this was the tomb of the city's founder. It was later known that the sarcophagus belongs to Nectanebo II.[2][3] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/attarinemosque.htm|title=The Attarine Mosque in Alexandria, Egypt|website=www.touregypt.net|language=ru|access-date=2018-04-08}} {{Egypt-mosque-stub}}{{Egypt-church-stub}}{{coord missing|Egypt}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/sarcophagus-of-nectanebo-ii/zwGvVhKDG5nkPA|title=Sarcophagus of Nectanebo II - Google Arts & Culture|work=Google Cultural Institute|access-date=2018-04-08|language=en}} 3. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=hNXBAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA141&dq=Attarine+Mosque&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwizsb-2saraAhWDHpQKHcWmDuYQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=Attarine%20Mosque&f=false|title=The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great (Second Edition)|last=Chugg|first=Andrew|date=2012-06-01|publisher=Lulu.com|isbn=9780955679063|language=en}} 11 : 370|370s establishments in the Roman Empire|4th-century churches|4th-century establishments in Roman Egypt|Alexander the Great|Churches in Alexandria|Former churches in Egypt|French campaign in Egypt and Syria|Mosques converted from churches|Mosques in Alexandria|Thirtieth Dynasty of Egypt |
