Alexander the great captured the island city of Tyre in 332 BCE during his campaign against the Persian Empire. He constructed a causeway, or mole, extending from the mainland to the island, allowing his forces to approach and besiege the heavily fortified city. After a lengthy siege of about seven months, Tyre fell to Alexander’s forces due to a combination of persistent assaults, naval blockades, and the weakening morale of the defenders. This victory solidified Alexander's control over the eastern Mediterranean and showcased his military ingenuity.
