Greek Orthodox Cemetery in Old Cairo

The cemetery stands on the same grounds as the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria’s offices and the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George, which dates to the 10th century or earlier. The cemetery contains another Greek Orthodox Church, that of the Dormition of the Virgin.

Flak Towers were 8 complexes of large, above-ground, anti-aircraft gun blockhouse towers constructed in the cities of Berlin (3), Hamburg (2), and Vienna (3) from 1940 onwards. Other cities that had flak towers included Stuttgart and Frankfurt. Due to the very close neighbouring buildings some of the flak towers could not be blown up after World War II.
