History edit

The diocese was established on 10 August 1838 as the Diocese of Algiers from Diocese of Islas Canarias in Spain. Later that same year, it united with the Diocese of Iulia Caesarea.

It was promoted to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Algiers on 25 July 1866.

Special churches edit

La Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur d'Alger (Sacred Heart Cathedral of Algiers) is the current cathedral of the archdiocese. It is a concrete Modernist church that was built in 1956. It became a cathedral in 1962.

The previous cathedral was the French colonial Cathedral of St. Philip of Algiers. The Cathedral of St. Philip of Algiers was established by converting the Ketchaoua Mosque in 1845, but was reconverted to the Ketchaoua Mosque in 1962.

The diocese also has a Minor Basilica at the Basilique de Notre Dame d'Afrique in Algiers.
