Notre Dame d'Afrique (Our Lady of Africa) is a Catholic basilica in Algiers, Algeria. == History ==
The basilica was inaugurated in 1872, after fourteen years of construction. It was founded by Charles Lavigerie. Its architect, Jean Eugène Fromageau, who had been appointed the chief architect for ecclesiastical buildings in French Algeria in 1859, employed a Neo-Byzantine style. Its floor plan is unusual as the choir is situated on the southeast instead of the usual east side of the building. The basilica contains 46 stained glass windows installed in the 19th century. They were blown out during a bombing of the area in April 1943 and have been restored twice since the end of World War II. 〔 〕 The basilica was damaged by the 2003 Boumerdès earthquake. A reconstruction project was initiated by Mgr Tessier (the archbishop of Algiers) in 2003, but work on the project didn't start until the spring of 2007. The total cost of restoration was 5.1 million euros. The project took three years to complete. 〔
