Remains of a 1,300-year-old church were discovered in the Al-Kasaba Al-Bahariya district on the north coast, west of Alexandria, according to
Mohamed Metwally, general manager of the Islamic, Coptic and Jewish monuments in Alexandria and the north coast.
“While working in the area, the excavation mission found pottery vessels that led the team to the remains of the church spread over 2,000 square meters,” Metwally explained. “The site can only be reached by foot, as it is 6 km away from the road.”
“It is possible to rebuild the church and turn it into a tourist attraction site,” he said.
