Constructed in the fourth century, the church might have been finished in the fifth. Around 750, during Marwan II's rule, it was destroyed by fire during the Fire of Fustat. Although it has undergone numerous reconstructions and restorations throughout the Middle Ages, it was last refurbished in the eighth century and is still regarded as an example of an early Coptic church.
