CHURCH BUILDING
Saint Eugenie Church
Port Said · Roman Catholic
A brief history
Port Said’s Catholic community first worshipped in a wooden church built in 1867. A stone church followed in 1890. Its nineteenth-century architecture reflects the European communities that settled around the canal port during the city’s early growth.
An interesting detail
An academic study documents nine marble altars and paintings signed by their artists, making the interior a record of nineteenth-century Catholic artistic patronage.
