The most beautiful church in Cairo, built on the site of a Roman temple 10 m above ground, supported by towers and without foundations.

Built on the site of a Roman temple, the church was enlarged several times, most recently in 1775. Built 10 m above ground, it is supported by towers and has no foundations. The wooden ceiling, in the shape of Noah's Ark, is remarkable. The pulpit, supported by slender columns and inlaid with coloured marble, dates from the 11th century. The iconostases are finely chiselled and inlaid with ivory. It contains 110 icons, some dating from the early 10th century. One of the most beautiful churches in Cairo!
