Cathedral of Our Lady of Egypt, Catholic cathedral in Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Egypt features Byzantine Revival architecture with influences from the Hagia Sophia, incorporating grand domes and ornate interior decorations.
The cathedral, completed in 1913 under the design of Alexandre Marcel, was funded by financier Édouard Empain, whose remains rest in the building's crypt.
The cathedral serves the Roman Catholic community in Egypt while reflecting the religious diversity through regular gatherings of various Christian denominations.
Located on Al-Ahram Square, the cathedral maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical elements.
The structure functions as a co-cathedral within the Apostolic Vicariate of Alexandria of Egypt, following specific Roman Catholic rites since 2008.
