The Diocese of Barica (in Latin in: Dioecesis Baricensis) is a suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
History
editBarica, currently known as Barika, is a town in today's Algeria, which was the seat of a diocese in the Roman province of Numidia. The only known mention of the diocese comes from a 592 letter by the Pope Gregory I, which contains a reference of a certain Peter, who held the post of the Bishop of Barica at the time.[1]
In 1933, Barica was restored as a titular seat by the Pope Pius XI.[2]
