Babylon Castle, the largest building in old Cairo, although recently maintained, still reflects the characteristics of Egyptian architecture in the Christian period, and the fortifications of the castle are worth a closer look.
An ancient fortress in the Nile Delta located in what is today known as Coptic Cairo. Between the hanging church and the Coptic museum. There is a sign that parses the history. But there is not much to see. It took less than 10 minutes here!
It is near the Coptic Museum in Old Cairo. It seems that you will pass by without noticing it, but it has a long history.
