About
The town of Mahjouba in Morocco, North Africa, was once the seat of an ancient Christian bishopric. This site, significant for its religious heritage, ceased to function as a bishopric following the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb in the 7th century CE. Despite this, it continues to exist today as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. The presence of the bishopric aligns it with the Late Classical Period and the Early Post-Classical Period, particularly highlighting its historical and religious importance during these times. Mahjouba's status as a titular see suggests the enduring historical and spiritual legacy of the site, even as it evolved through significant cultural and religious changes over the centuries.
