Located in Shalalat’s medieval area, in the city’s western quarters, Sultan Mohammed Ali’s former arsenal has become the place where the Center for Alexandrian Studies, headed by Jean-Yves Empereur stores and restores archeological objects discovered on the city’s digging sites. One archeologist cleans a fragment of Emperor Marc-Aurelius’ statue, discovered on the Lux garage site where the Caesarium could be found two thousand years ago.
