Priory of Our Lady of Atlas, Cistercian priory in Midelt, Morocco.
The priory is a Cistercian monastery in Morocco that contains a church, living quarters, guest rooms, and several chapels. The buildings are arranged around a central garden with a statue of Mary.
The monastery was founded in 1988 by Trappist monks who relocated from Algeria after tragic events there. It became a new monastic community in the Midelt region.
The place is shaped by monks who pray and work here daily. Visitors can experience the rhythms of monastic life and share moments of prayer with a community devoted to contemplation.
The priory can host up to fourteen guests and overnight stays with the community are possible. Visitors should know this is an active monastery and guests need to adapt to the daily rhythm of the community.
In the cemetery on the grounds rest sisters from different orders, and there is a memorial space for people who died in tragic events. This place recalls the story of communities that rebuilt themselves.
