Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur d'Oran is a Catholic church located on the Place de la Kahina, on Boulevard Hammou-boutlelis, in Oran, Algeria.
History
The church building was built between 1904 and 1913 to the design of Albert Ballu, the architect of the Government of Algeria, and by the company of Auguste and Gustave Perret. The structure of the church itself is of reinforced concrete, which made it the first church built by this in French overseas territories. It was dedicated on 30 April 1930.
It became a regional library in 1984, then a public library in 1996.
