Ferdinand De Lesseps statue Base قاعدة تمثال فرديناند ديليسبس

The bronze statue base marks the former location of Ferdinand de Lesseps monument, who stood at 33 feet tall at the Suez Canal entrance.

The original statue, created by Emmanuel Frémiet in 1899, was demolished during the Suez Crisis of 1956 by Egyptian resistance members.

The monument base represents the transformation of Egyptian society, marking the shift from colonial influence to national independence in Port Said.

Visitors can reach the statue base by walking along the western bank of the Suez Canal, near the maritime museum complex.

The stone foundation remains as the last physical evidence of the monument that welcomed ships entering the Suez Canal for over five decades.
