【Egypt·Cairo·Hanging Church】The Hanging Church is not hanging

📍Egypt·Cairo·Hanging Church Ticket: Free Located in the old Coptic district of Egypt, a must-visit attraction in the old city. Also known as the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, it is said to have been built when the Virgin Mary took Jesus to Egypt to escape persecution. One of the oldest churches in Cairo, about 1800 years old. Named for its location on the south gate of the former city wall, it is a certain distance from the ground. The current church interior has a glass floor, through which you can see the former height of the Hanging Church. The church is not large, but it is exquisite, known as the most beautiful church in Egypt. The mosaic pattern on the outside of the church is somewhat innovative. There is an indescribable feeling inside the church, a kind of Arabic style, purely personal feeling. Cairo - a place of multicultural religious integration. But ancient Egypt really has nothing to do with modern Egypt. The Hanging Church is not hanging, the present is different from the past.
