Alexandria is believed to have been founded by Alexander the Great in April 331 BC as Alexandreia. Alexander's chief architect for the project was Dinocrates. Alexandria was intended to supersede Naucratis as a Hellenistic center in Egypt, and to be the link between Greece and the rich Nile valley.
