Description Fort Santa Cruz, Oran is one of the three forts in Oran, the second largest port city of Algeria
Fort Santa Cruz was built between 1577 and 1604 by the Spanish on the Pic d’Aidour above Gulf of Oran in the Mediterranean Sea, at an elevation of above 400 metres (1,312 ft). In 1831, the French occupied Oran and the fort.
The Santa Cruz Chapel was built by Bishop of Oran at the place where he had carried the statue of the Virgin Mary in a procession, followed by the people of the city, to the Oran hill, when a cholera epidemic had affected the people of Oran, in 1847. They sought blessings of Virgin Mary to protect the city from the epidemic.
