Church of the African Lady ""Notre Dame d'Afrique""
Hello, dear steemit friends. hope you are fine and having a nice day. in this post I want to show oldest church in Ageria. Its a Catholic cathedral located(""Notre Dame d'Afrique"" in French) in Algiers, the capital of Algeria. its Founded in 1872 .
Notre Dame d'Afrique was described in the 1911 edition of the book "The Mediterranean Sea, Ports and Maritime Roads As a pilgrimage church for sick people and sailors. it was created by Cardinal Lavigieri in 1872 and stands out on a rocky cliff on the northeastern slope of Mount Bouzria, above the Christian and Jewish burial sites.
"The Church is a symbol of tolerance, The print shows part of the monastery of the Carmelite monks in the left part of the foreground, its large garden surrounded by walls and the church behind it lying on a slope above the Gulf of Algiers.
Its really very beautiful cathedral and it has hundreds visitors everyday. so hope you like this short post about this church.
I love how it stands as a symbol of tolerance. There is also something very poetic about the way in it is situated on that hill. Thanks for sharing - I hope we can connect on here!
yeah it really beautiful church located on high mount in a place called bouzria, it lying on a slope above the Gulf of Algiers. thats why they called it pilgrimage church for sick people and sailors.. you have to know something about histroy of Algeria.. there were so many sailors groups used to manage Mediterranean Sea.
Sounds like a really exciting era of history! I bet the church is filled with stories!

@khaled-dz ; Nicely written. I see striking similarities with byzantine architecture. But the inner sanctum is beautiful and evokes a sense of calm. Cheers, and keep your posts coming.
