This large church built near the district of Habous dates back to 1953, three years before the independence of Morocco. In the 1950 s, the city had around 450 000 foreigners from the Christian faith. Today, African students studying in Morocco constitute the majority of the faithful. Throughout the imposing concrete nave, stained glass windows were made by the master verrier of Chartres, Gabriel Loire. The series opens on a scene of the Apocalypse of Saint John, and then declines the themes related to the cult of the Immaculate Conception. Originality lies in the mix of performances of biblical scenes and historical episodes: a thesis of a Franciscan at the Sorbonne about the Virgin Mary, victory of the naval battle of Léparte dedicated to the Virgin… A set of stained glass windows that is worth looking at for the liveliness of its colors and the originality of its iconography.

Grande église dans le quartier des hôpitaux (Sud de la ville). Elle est encore en activité et accueille notamment des Africains subsahariens catholiques. Les vitraux sont étonnants, notamment parce qu'ils mélangent des épisodes religieux à des épisodes historiques. Il y a également une petite grotte (d'où le nom de l'église) en sortant de l'église à droite.
