Known as Mogama’ El Adyan (Interreligious Complex), it is one of the oldest parts of Cairo. It dates back before the city’s foundation by the Fatimids in 969 AD.
The Coptic Quarter is the center of Christianity in Old Cairo and preserves some of the earliest churches in Egypt, dating back to the 4th century. It is also believed that the Holy Family stayed here briefly during their flight into Egypt.
The Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary’s Coptic Church)
Built in 690 AD, the church is called the “Hanging Church” (El Moallaqa) because it was constructed above the gatehouse of the old Roman fortress. It is the first basilica-style church in Egypt and houses 110 icons, the oldest dating to the 8th century.
