A striking example of European modernist architecture, this 1956 Catholic church is notable for its elongated concrete entrance and its stunning stained-glass windows, which were designed by noted French artist Gabriel Loire. It overlooks the Rond-point de l'Europe (aka Mers Sultan Roundabout). The church plays host to occasional concerts; check the notice board for details.
