Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Siege of Tyre

Alexander the Great besieged the island city of Tyre, which sat half a mile offshore and was considered impregnable. When the Tyrians refused to submit, Alexander ordered the construction of a massive causeway from the mainland to the island. Despite Tyrian fire ships, naval attacks, and desperate resistance over seven months, Alexander completed the causeway and breached the walls. The city was sacked and 30,000 inhabitants were sold into slavery. The causeway permanently connected Tyre to the mainland, where it remains a peninsula to this day.

💡 ¿Sabías que...?

The causeway Alexander built to reach the island of Tyre permanently changed the geography of the coastline. What was once an island is now a peninsula connected to the mainland.
