Éliane Lenoir, who has excavated the only positively identified church of Mauretania Tingitana at Zilil, surveys the archaeological evidence of Christianity in that province. She first describes the Zilil church; she then mentions the existence in Tanger of a building with naves, which has been sometimes recognised as a church, and the excavation at Ceuta of a monument in which tombs were found, but no liturgical installation. She reviews Christian inscriptions and objects with Christian symbols from Volubilis. She rejects the identification of a building in Lixus, which is actually a mosque, as a church, and refutes the hypothesis of the Christianisation of Banasa, arguing there is too little evidence.
