Hanging church:
It  was built on the remains of one of the gates of the Roman fortress, Babylon. This high position earned the name "the hanging" or: the suspended" (Al Muallaqah) church. It's referred to also as the church of the column as connected to the miracle of moving the Muqattam mountain. Prior to the miracle, patriarch Abraham (d. 978) fasted for three days and nights in this church until on the third day the virgin appeared to him near a column & told him what to do. You will enjoy there the beauty of the basilica & the collection of ancient icons of the 7th & 8th century.  
Ben Ezra Synagogue:
Which is said to be built near the spot where the baby Moses was found in the reeds.
Church of St. Barbara:
At the corner past Abu Sarga, the Church of St Barbara is dedicated to a martyr who was beaten to death by her father for trying to convert him to Christianity. Her supposed relics rest in a small chapel left of the altar, along with a few other saints’ remains. The church houses some rare icons of St Barbara, the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Beyond the church an iron gate leads to the peaceful (if somewhat litter-strewn) Coptic cemetery.
Church of St. Sergius (Abu Sergah): 
This church is at the middle of Qasr Al-Shame or the Roman Fortress beside the Coptic Museum To reach that church by descending a low staircase, lower than the ground level, then through a narrow passageway According to tradition, this church was established on the cavern where the Holy Family sheltered, and it is now considered one of its important parts of the building and it is just beneath the altar and it is called the cavern or " the church of the cave" this has given it its world fame.
