#mytraveldiary The Hanging Church in Old Cairo, Egypt, is one of those places that instantly makes you feel like you have stepped into a living piece of history. Built above a Roman gatehouse, it almost seems to float, giving it the name that makes visitors curious before even stepping inside. The church is filled with a peaceful atmosphere, and the wooden ceiling shaped like Noah’s Ark is a detail that adds to its charm.
Icons and carvings line the walls, each telling stories of faith and devotion that have lasted through centuries. The Hanging Church is not only a religious site but also a cultural treasure, representing the endurance of the Coptic Christian community. It is a must see when exploring Old Cairo, combining history, architecture and a sense of calm reflection.
