The Church and Cemetery of Saint Andrew
About this place
The church and cemetery of St. Andrew, represent one of the perfect illustrations of the intercultural character of Tangier. Built in 1894 on a piece of land donated to Queen Victory of England by Sultan Moulay Hassan, the Moorish-Andalusian style church features a surprising interior space. Its Orthodox worship altar faces a "Our Father" written in Arabic in the shape of a Muslim mihrab that surrounds the main altar. In the cemetery lie several illustrious personalities such as Walter Burton Harris or the Maclean Caïd.
