Azura was an ancient town in the Roman-Berber province of Numidia. It was located near present-day Henchir-Loulou, Algeria. It served as a Latin Catholic diocese.
Bishopric
Azura did not send a representative to the Council of Nicaea nor Chalcedon
As a bishopric, Azura was represented by the Catholic bishop Victor at the Conference of Carthage of 411 between Catholic and Donatist bishops.
Its bishop Leporius was among the Catholic bishops whom the Arian Vandal king Huneric summoned to Carthage in 484 and then exiled.
No longer a residential bishopric, Azura is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
The current Bishop is Mexican born Jorge Humberto Rodríguez-Novelo, of Denver.
