Diocese of Ceuta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spanish Catholic diocese of Ceuta existed from 1417 to 1851. It was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Seville.[1] Its territory around Ceuta had previously belonged to the Order of Christ.[2]

The diocese of Tanger was united to it, in 1570.[3] In 1851 Ceuta was suppressed, being combined into the diocese of Cádiz y Ceuta.[4]
