Abu Serga (Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus)

Abu Serga, or the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, is one of the oldest churches in Coptic Cairo, vying with the Hanging Church for that title. Despite numerous reconstructions, its pillars date back to the fourth century, and much of the structure retains medieval elements. Named after two martyred Roman soldiers, St. Sergius (Abu Serga) and St. Bacchus, the church stands as a testament to the rich history and enduring faith of the Coptic community. Visitors can explore the ancient architecture and learn about the lives of these revered saints, immersing themselves in the quiet, contemplative atmosphere of this historic site.
