The history of Heliopolis, now known as Masr al Gadîda, which, due to its geographical location and history, has become a place of passage and cultural encounters since Antiquity. Home to a temple dedicated to the worship of the sun, the city subsequently attracted many scholars and philosophers and, according to medieval tradition, became a place of residence for the Christian holy family.
