Tripoli, Libya · built 1928

The Tripoli Cathedral (Italian: La Cattedrale di Tripoli), is a former Roman Catholic cathedral located on what was called Piazza della Cattedrale in the city centre of Tripoli, the capital of Libya. Completed as a church in the 1920s during the Italian Libya colonial era, the building was repurposed as the Algeria Square Mosque in c. 1970, and the square renamed as Algeria/Elgazayer Square (Maidan al Jazair/Maydan elgazayer). The St. Francis Pro-Cathedral has served as the temporary cathedral for the Apostolic Vicariate of Tripoli.
