Notre-Dame d'Afrique

Local nameكاتدرائية السيدة الأفريقية
LocationAlgiers, Algeria

Notre Dame d'Afrique is a Catholic basilica in Algiers, Algeria.

Pope Pius IX granted two Pontifical decrees towards the shrine on the same day in 15 April 1876:

The first decree invoked to canonically crown the venerated Marian image enshrined within. The rite of coronation was executed by the Archbishop of Carthage Charles Lavigerie on 30 April 1876.

The second decree which raised the sanctuary to the status of Basilica based on an “immemorial custom”. (Pope Benedict XV later regulated to limit these privileges in 1918 to Papal edicts unless an ancient custom already refers to a building as a “Basilica”.
