She is not so much Floating, as it was built on the basis of the Babylonian fortress and occupies the second tier, for access to which a staircase is attached.I liked the mosaics at the entrance very much - excellent visual power, color, performance.The wooden rafters supporting the roof also gave a positive impression with their quality workmanship. The seats for believers are also made of the same wood.If the crucifixion of Christ at the entrance was performed from the same tree, it would be very strong.But in general, the Church conveys positive feelings about visiting an ancient Christian cathedral.
The Hanging Church is located in the Old Cairo district, in the important archaeological area of Coptic Cairo. It is close to the Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque, the Ibn Ezra Synagogue, the Church of St. Mary, next to the Babylon Fortress, the Church of Martyr Mercurius (Abu Sefein), and many other churches. It was called Al-Mu’allaqa because it was built on two of the ancient towers of the Roman fortress (Babylon Fort), which was built by Emperor Trajan in the second century AD.
The Coptic Church of St. Mary was built over a cave. The place where Jesus, Mary and Joseph hid from the wrath of Herod
