Interior view of the Hanging Church (Al-Muallaqah) in Mar Girgis, Old Cairo, showing the elaborately carved wooden iconostasis decorated with geometric ivory inlay patterns and painted religious icons of saints. A dark red liturgical curtain bearing an embroidered angelic figure hangs at the sanctuary entrance, flanked by ornate Coptic candle stands. The Hanging Church, one of the oldest Christian churches in Egypt dating back to the 3rd–4th century AD, is built over the southern gatehouse of the Roman Babylon Fortress and remains one of the most significant Coptic Christian landmarks in the country.
