"
The Serapeum of Alexandria was an ancient temple dedicated to the god Serapis, constructed during the reign of Ptolemy III in the 3rd century BCE. It served as a center of worship and scholarship, attracting scholars and pilgrims from across the Mediterranean. Destroyed during the Christianization of the Roman Empire, its remnants now lie buried beneath modern Alexandria. To visit locally, travelers can explore the archaeological site in the city center, accessible by taxi or public transportation."
