Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary), Cairo

Coptic Hanging Church is another representation of Cairo, Egypt. In actuality, 29 stairs were needed to get to the church. It was known as "the Staircase Church" by the first visitors to Cairo. The land surface actually rose by about 6 meters. Since the time of the Romans. A Roman tower that is underground. It lessens the elevated position of the church's visual impact. Iron gates separating the church's street entry from it are present. It is concealed by a sharp stone arch. Beyond a little courtyard is the nineteenth-century facade with twin bell towers. It was embellished with contemporary biblical art. A second little courtyard is accessible via the steps and entrance. It leads to the exterior porch from the eleventh century.

The ground of the church was that it was the very place where Jesus and Mary hid in Egypt. The church is very uniquely built with absolutely gorgeous architecture. It is called the hanging church because the whole church is situated on two towers with no basis on the ground at all. Also, the oldest church in Egypt, it’s free to visit. The beauty of this church was mesmerizing. Definitely a 'do visit' place.
