The Church of Saint Porphyrius is an ancient Orthodox Christian church in the Gaza Strip, dedicated to the city’s patron saint, Bishop Porphyrius. Built in the 5th century, the church has stood the test of time, surviving several earthquakes and invasions. Though the structure has been renovated over the centuries, its Byzantine-era architecture remains evident in its arches, columns, and mosaics. The church stands as a testament to the Christian presence in the region, and visiting the site offers a unique insight into the religious history of Gaza.
