Cathedral of Evangelismos

Cathedral of Evangelismos, Gothic Revival cathedral in Alexandria Governorate, Egypt

The Cathedral of Evangelismos is a house of worship built in Gothic Revival style using red brick, characterized by vertical lines and pointed arches that define the design. The structure combines tall spires and distinctive Gothic elements with local construction techniques adapted to the Egyptian context.

The cathedral was built in the 19th century as the Greek Orthodox community in Alexandria expanded and sought to establish a prominent place of worship in the city. The structure marks a period when religious architecture reflected both European design traditions and local construction expertise.

The cathedral serves as a center for Greek Orthodox worship where visitors can observe traditional liturgical ceremonies and witness the community gathered for weekly services. The interior displays religious icons and traditional decorations that reflect Orthodox Christian practices in Egypt.

The building is typically open during daylight hours, and visitors are best served arriving in the morning to experience services or explore in peace. Respectful dress is expected, and guests should be mindful of ongoing religious activities happening inside.

The building displays a rare blend of European Gothic features combined with Egyptian brick-building techniques that stand out in Alexandria's religious architecture. This fusion happened because the Greek community hired local craftsmen who adapted familiar design styles to locally available materials.
