Overview

The Babylon Fortress, the Coptic Museum, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, and many other Coptic churches and historical landmarks are all located in Coptic Cairo, which is a portion of Old Cairo. The Holy Family is said to have visited this location and stayed in the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, according to Christian legend (Abu Serga). [1] Although most of the existing churches in Coptic Cairo were erected after the Muslim invasion of Egypt in the 7th century, Coptic Cairo remained a bastion for Christianity in Egypt until the Islamic period.
