The Siege of Tyre was orchestrated by Alexander the Great in 332 BC during his campaigns against the Persian Achaemenid Empire. The Macedonian army was unable to capture the city, which was a strategic coastal base on the Mediterranean Sea, through conventional means because it was on an island and had walls right up to the sea.
