St. Mark's Cathedral in Alexandria

Very beautiful Cathedral and the most important one in Alexandria and Egypt as it’s the place of the pope of Alexandria and it’s founded by Mark the Evangelist, i do recommend visiting it and spend some calm and peaceful time there.

Very beautiful church we visited in 2020 during our tour of the city. I never knew Coptic Christian meant Egyptian Christain. The tour guide explained a little bit of the history of the Apostle Mark and how the Church came to be built. A hidden gem in the city for Christian followers to see and experience. But also for other peoples of different faiths as the Church is splendid.

Cathedral of Coptic orthodox church in Alexandria ..
Huge beautiful place containing the shrine of Saint Mark where his skull was buried.
It is one of the oldest churches in the world.
It has lots of beautiful paintings ..
It is situated in a very busy area in Alexandria so parking your car is very difficult.

Beautiful place, beautiful people. Such a big blessing. Must see!

The place is heavenly, calm and peaceful. the holy mass is great making you feel peaceful. There's a well equipped theatre and a cafeteria and restaurant

Nice historic church building with the burial ground of Mark's head after he was beheaded.

Wonderful historical place and quiet church since 1000 yeras

The Oldest Church in Egypt ❤ Really Amazing Place 🌺

Very nice cathedral. People are friendly and opened all the visits for the relics.

The first church built in Egypt.
The St. Mark cathedral is built over what was originally the first church in Egypt established by St. Mark himself. It now has St Mark's body including his head which was previously stolen and smuggled and ended up in Venice, Italy till it was returned to Egypt during the time of Pope Kirolos.
The cathedral is truly a remarkable and spirtual place and now serves the coptic people of down town Alexandria.

Nice place. We went there the first time and they wanted to keep out passports at the entrance. We thought that was weird so we didnt go in. Then we found out about the bomb attacks and understood the passport thing and went back. Nice attraction

Saint Mark's Coptic orthodox cathedral is the oldest one in Alexandria :) Amazing place and a "must go" place if you're visiting Alexandria

Beautiful. An elderly caretaker gave us a tour back into area where At Mark's head is buried. I was so surprised that my Facebook correspondence was answered immediately by staff. The security is sobering and it was an honor to visit where Christians have lost their lives for their faith.

Tourists must leave their passports behind with a Police officer, for some reason all churches in Cairo are protected. We are allowed only to take outside pictures.

It is a beautiful cathedral. It's unfortunate that it doesn't get more publicity so that foreigners to the Coptic Church can come and visit. The architectures of Coptic Cathedrals (and churches for that matter) are unlike anything I've seen anywhere else on the planet. The beauty and magnificence rivals that of any European Cathedral.

In addition to it's beauty, it is quiet and and offers a place of quiet and prayer. There is also an opportunity to see the burial place of St. Mark the Apostle (1 of 2; the second place being in Venice).

The first place st Mark the evangelist had been in Egypt and now the church which has his head till now, very spiritual place ❤🙏

One of the oldest cathedrals in the whole world. From here Saint Marc started to guide Egyptians to Christianity. A must see place if you visit Alexandria.

Our St Mark the Evangeist & Apostle blessing be with us all
