Parroquia de Santa Maria de Africa, Ceuta, Spain
4.5 (56 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Ceuta Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
We were amazed when we went inside.
Its looks from outside only give you a hint. It's a wow factor within. The golden effect is spectacular and the whole church is a feast of colour. Really enlightening. So glad we found it.

Lovely small chapel
If u like small old Chapels like me, this petite church will be nice to see. It's located on Ceuta's busiest avenue full of shopping stores spanish brands like Massimo Dutti, Strad Mango and others. If ur lucky enough the man responsible there can take u upstairs to see the virgin statue and the church s Bell ?.

The patron saint of the city of Ceuta
. Fairly uninteresting outside, just a rather ordinary church painted pink and white. Although I suppose that for a Brit, a pink-painted church is slightly of interest! However inside it is overwhelming with the gold-leaf decorations pulling your eyes into the altar and the statue of Our Lady of Africa, the patron saint of the town of Ceuta, and the origin of the girl's name "Africa" which you hear here as mothers call their toddlers to them in the park. .
