EDITORS COMMENTS
Notre-Dame of Africa, or Notre-Dame de la Déliverance, is a Catholic basilica located in Algiers, Algeria, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Built between 1871 and 1881, this magnificent architectural masterpiece was designed by French architect Paul Abadie and is a testament to the rich history of Catholicism in Algeria. The photo print, dating back to the 1910s, captures the grandeur of the basilica's exterior, with its intricate details and ornate features. The basilica's twin bell towers, each topped with a golden statue of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus, dominate the skyline. The roof, adorned with red tiles and intricate ironwork, adds to the overall beauty of the building. Notre-Dame of Africa was built during the French colonial period, and its construction was a symbol of the French presence in Algeria. The basilica was intended to serve as a place of worship for the growing Catholic community in the region. Today, it remains an important religious site, attracting thousands of pilgrims and tourists each year. The print also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the colonial era and the cultural exchange that took place between Europe and Africa during that time. The image of Notre-Dame of Africa, with its striking architecture and historical significance, continues to be a source of inspiration and wonder for all who see it.
