The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (English: Library of Alexandria; Arabic: مكتبة الإسكندرية Maktabat al-Iskandarīyah, ) is a major library and cultural center located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. It is both a commemoration of the Library of Alexandria that was lost in antiquity, and an attempt to rekindle something of the brilliance that this earlier center of study and erudition represented.
