Stop At: Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary), Shar’a Mari Girgis Street, Cairo 11511 Egypt
The Hanging Church is named after its location above a gatehouse of the Babylon Fortress, the Roman fortress in Coptic Cairo (Old Cairo); its nave hangs over a corridor. [2] The church is reached via twenty-nine steps; early travelers to Cairo called it “the Staircase Church”. [2] The land surface has increased by about six meters since Roman times, so most of the Roman tower is buried underground, reducing the visual impact of the church’s elevated position.
The entrance from the street is through iron gates under a pointed stone arch. The nineteenth-century facade with two bell towers is then seen behind a narrow courtyard decorated with modern biblical designs. Up the stairs and through the entrance there is another small courtyard that leads to the 11th century outside veranda.
