Coptic Cairo
Finally to Coptic Cairo to visit the Hanging Church and the Church of Abu Serga.
The hanging church consists of a courtyard divided into four wings, separated by three rows of marble columns. The name arose because the church was built on the ruins of the old Roman fortress. The Hanging Church is known for the icons that adorn its walls. The oldest dates from the fifteenth century AD.
The Abu Serga Church is also known as the Church of Saint Sergius and Bacchus. The church is characterized by its unique architectural and artistic elements.
