2. The Hanging Church

3. Ben Ezra Synagogue

This historic site is believed to be where the prophet Jeremiah gathered the Jewish people after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in the 6th century. It was later restored in the 12th century and is key to understanding the North African Jewish community's history from the 11th to 13th centuries.

It is thought to date back to the 10th century, though some writings indicate it may have been consecrated in the 12th century. The church was the seat of the Orthodox Pope of Alexandria from 1400 to 1520 AD.
