The Church of the Virgin Mary is a Coptic church in Old Cairo, above Bab El-Maa. It is also known as the Hanging or Hanging Church
The church is one of the oldest Christian churches in Egypt. It dates back to the third century AD. Previously, there was a Roman fort on this site, which served as the foundation. The building took on its modern appearance in the 7th-9th centuries. In the 11th century, the residence of the Patriarch of Alexandria was located here.
The church got its name due to its high location above the bastions of the Roman fort and the water gates.
