Unusually for Coptic Cairo, the Church of St. George (Mar Girgis is actually a Greek Orthodox church. Completed in 1909 after an older structure burned down, it takes its circular shape from a tower of the Roman-era Babylon Fortress. Colorful paintings on the vaulted dome pay tribute to the dragon-slaying saint.
