The Catholic diocese of Ceuta, first Portuguese and afterwards Spanish, existed from 1417 to 1879.
It was a suffragan of the Patriarchate of Lisbon until 1675, with the end of the Iberian Union, when Ceuta chose to remain linked to the king of Spain.
[1] Its territory around Ceuta had previously belonged to the Order of Christ.
[3] In 1851, upon the signature of the concordat between the Holy See and Spain, the diocese of Ceuta was agreed to be suppressed, being combined into the diocese of Cádiz y Ceuta[4] (up to then diocese of Cádiz y Algeciras).
