Mount Colzim (or Qulzum, Qalzam, or Qolozum), also known as the Inner Mountain of Saint Anthony, is a mountain in Red Sea Governorate, Egypt, which was the final residency of Anthony the Great from about AD 311, when he was 62 years of age, to his death in 356. Currently, the Monastery of Saint Anthony, a Coptic Orthodox monastery, exists in the same location.
