From There Ancient Egypt Trip takes you to Coptic Cairo, early as the 6th century BC. Later, the Romans built a fortress here which we know today as “Babylon.” Some of the Roman walls exist today. Below just note about some churches

Abu Serga

The church is dedicated to Sergio’s and Bacchus, who were soldier-saints that were martyred during the 4th century in Syria by the Roman Emperor, Maxi Milan. It has three altars and twelve columns decorated with portraits of the twelve disciples.

Mar Girgis church

The church of Saint George was originally built in 684 and rebuilt in 1857. It is best known for its wedding chamber, which dates from the 4th century AD and was reserved for wedding ceremonies

St. Barbara

Her legend says that the roman emperor tortured her until she denied Christ. She was stripped and struck with whips and clubs until she stood in a pool of her blood, yet she would not deny Christ. Afterward, she was thrown into prison where, during the night, God completely healed her wounds and filled her with heavenly joy.

Abu Seifien

St. Mercurius Church "Saint of the Two Swords". The tradition states that he was given a sword by an angel to fight against the barbarians. He was martyred, and after his martyrdom, he appeared to Julian the Apostate during a battle against the Persians and pierced him with a sword. He is always represented in Coptic art as a horseman holding two swords.

 The Hanging Church (Al-Mu'allaqa)

The Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary) derives its name from its location on top of the southern tower gate of the old Babylon fortress with its nave suspended above the passage. It is the most famous Coptic Christian church in Cairo, as well as the first built-in Basilican style.
