Historic quarters and monuments of Rosetta/Rachid by Roman Bruehwiler

Rachid (anglicized: Rosetta) is a port city in the Nile Delta.
It had its heyday in the Ottoman era, which can be seen in the remaining Ottoman-style mansions. However, it owes its international fame to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone at its citadel.
