St. Peter's Cathedral in Rabat is a striking example of Art Deco architecture and a key landmark of Morocco's Roman Catholic heritage. Completed in 1930, its geometric design and streamlined aesthetics set it apart from traditional religious structures, reflecting the artistic trends of the early 20th century. Located at Place du Golan in the city center, the cathedral remains an active place of worship and a site of cultural significance, hosting religious ceremonies and events that connect Morocco's diverse communities. Its distinctive façade and towering spires make it a notable feature of Rabat's skyline.

I was given a nice welcome by the staff here and a small leaflet in my language (English) explaining the role of the Catholic Church in present-day Morocco together with key dates in the creation of the country's Vicariates.

A nice cathedral in Rabat that is quite huge and well-designed on the inside.

I attempted to enter the church with my husband the evening before Easter and we were denied at the door by the gentleman greeting at the door. He asked my husband if he was Christian and to which when I stepped in and stated I am Catholic, I am also clearly a foreigner and was approached by a woman who asked if I was Christian once again. I reiterated that I was Catholic and she welcomed me in but stated the service would be in French assuming I didn’t speak French. I was then told my husband can’t enter but I am welcomed, this was clearly because my husband was Muslim/Moroccan. I have entered Catholic/Christian churches all over the world for services and have never been rejected and questioned at the front door. I do not recommend this place.
