Travelogue: By Country | By Date Egypt | April 2001  

 

Gate into Babylon near the "Hanging Church." The church is said to hang, because it is built atop an old Roman fort. Beams were placed across parts of the fort and the church built on top of the beams. That means the church doesn't have a foundation and "hangs" above the ground. Unless you look carefully, you'd never notice this.
