Iglesia de San Andrés

Tangier · Ad No. 633

St. Andrew's Anglican Church, built in the late 19th century, is surprising for its Moorish-style architecture, featuring a bell tower reminiscent of a minaret and the Lord's Prayer inscribed in Arabic inside. Its cemetery, surrounded by gardens, holds the graves of prominent figures from international Tangier, such as the journalist Walter Harris. It is a haven of peace very close to the Grand Socco. A unique example of the coexistence of cultures that defines the city. 📷 Photographs courtesy of Cosmo45 (CC BY 2.0) and KJP1 (CC BY-SA 4.0), via Wikimedia Commons.
