The Siege of Tyre happened in 332 BC when Alexander the Great was on his campaign against the Persian Empire. His army was unable to capture the city easily because it was located on an island and had strategically placed defense walls. The city was important because of its strategic coastal position on the Mediterranean Sea. According to some sources, Alexander the Great was enraged by the challenge so much that he destroyed the majority of the city as retribution.
