About Hanging Church
The Hanging Church, also known as Saint Virgin Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church, is one of the oldest and most famous churches in Cairo. Located in Old Cairo, it is built above the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, giving it its unique “hanging” appearance. The church is renowned for its beautiful wooden ceiling shaped like Noah’s Ark, intricate icons, and peaceful spiritual atmosphere. Rich in history and religious significance, the Hanging Church is a must-visit destination for those interested in Coptic heritage and ancient architecture.
