Discover Coptic  Churches

Egypt has a rich Coptic culture. The Holy Family traveled through Egypt to escape King Herod. They spent 400 years there, from the 3rd to the 7th century AD. Alexandria was the first entry point for Christianity. But Cairo’s old city became a hub of many churches. It remains an example of Christian architecture from the 5th century to today. These Egypt Coptic Churches are a testament to the country’s diverse history.

Architectural Influences and Style

Architectural styles of Egypt’s Coptic churches changed constantly. Climate, social movements, and culture all influenced them. This led to continuous changes in structural systems, decorations, and building materials. Ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman features also heavily influenced Coptic church architecture. This makes their style unique. Coptic churches also inspired Islamic art. You can see some Coptic architectural features in many Islamic buildings throughout Egypt.
