Church of St. George (Mar Girgis)

In the heart of Coptic Cairo, the Church of St. George (Mar Girgis) stands as a unique Greek Orthodox church, completed in 1909 after its predecessor was destroyed by fire. Its circular design is inspired by a tower from the Roman-era Babylon Fortress, blending historical and architectural elements. The interior features a vaulted dome adorned with colorful paintings that depict the legendary dragon-slaying feats of St. George. Visitors can explore this distinctive structure and admire the vivid artwork that brings the saint’s stories to life.
