Why pilgrims come
Remember the witness that made this place sacred
Notre-Dame de l’Atlas preserves the graves and memory of the seven Trappist brothers killed in 1996, part of the nineteen Martyrs of Algeria beatified in 2018. The monastery remains a place of prayer, hospitality and Christian-Muslim friendship.
Make Tibhirine a pilgrimage of prayer, reconciliation and friendship—not true-crime tourism. The brothers’ graves, the monastic grounds and the community’s continuing hospitality belong to one spiritual witness.
