SAINTE-MARIE CATHEDRAL AND CLAVERIE STONE CENTRE
Cathedral housing the remains of Bishop Pierre Claverie and a photo of Mohamed Bouchikhi, a Muslim friend murdered with him.
Sainte-Marie Cathedral houses the remains of Bishop Pierre Claverie, who was murdered there on August1, 1996, during the black decade. Near his tomb, you can see the photo of Mohamed Bouchikhi, a Muslim friend who was murdered with him as he brought him home from the airport; he lies in the Sidi Bel Abbès cemetery. The current bishop, Jean-Paul Vesco, will be able to tell you more about Pierre Claverie's life if he is available when you visit.
