Lonely Planet review for St Andrew’s Church

A short walk down Rue d’Angleterre brings you to one of the more charming oddities of Tangier, St Andrew’s Church. Built from 1894 to 1905, on land granted by Queen Victoria, the interior of this Anglican church is in Moorish style, with no graven images, and the Lord’s Prayer in Arabic. Behind the altar is a cleft that indicates the direction of Mecca; carved quotes are from the Koran. What were the local builders thinking?
