A view through the elaborately carved stone archway and latticed wooden doors leading into the nave of the Hanging Church (Al-Muallaqah) in Mar Girgis, Old Cairo. The interior reveals rows of wooden pews, ornate columns, and hanging chandeliers illuminating the historic space. The Hanging Church, one of the oldest Coptic Christian churches in Egypt, dates to the 3rd–4th century AD and is named for its location suspended above the southern gatehouse of the Roman Babylon Fortress.
