The Tripoli Cathedral, is a former Roman Catholic cathedral located on what was called Piazza della Cattedrale in the city centre of Tripoli, the capital of Libya. Completed as a church in the 1920s during the Italian Libya colonial era, the building was repurposed as the Algeria Square Mosque in c. 1970, and the square renamed as Algeria/Elgazayer Square.

Formerly known as Green Square. This is a popular gathering place. It gives some good views of the old city walls. Some of the shopping streets also start here. The square is often used for demonstrations (against the Syrian regime typically) and as a place for motorcycle enthusiasts to show off. There is nothing in the square itself to see.
