在开罗市区,往东南,就可以看见萨拉丁城堡,巍■在岩石高地上。萨拉丁因为打败十字军而成为中世纪阿拉伯世界的英雄。当年,他把吉萨金字塔的石块拆下来建造城堡周围的围墙和塔楼,作为对抗十字军的据点。在他死后,这个城堡仍然被不断的扩建,经过马姆鲁克王朝、奥斯曼王朝以及19世纪穆哈默德·阿里时代,这里成为了开罗的政治中心。 In downtown Cairo, southeast, you can see Saladin Castle, Wei ■ in the rocky heights. Saladin became a hero of the medieval Arab world for defeating the Crusaders. That year, he removed the stones of the Pyramid of the Giza and built the walls and towers around the castle as the bases against the Crusades. After his death, the castle was still undergoing continuous expansion. After the Mamluk dynasty, the Ottoman dynasty and the 19th century Muhammad Ali, it became the political center of Cairo.
