Flenucleta was also the seat of the Catholic Church diocese of Flenucleta^[3] which goes back to a Roman era bishopric in the ancient town of the same name.^[4][5] Although the diocese ceased to effectively function with the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, the diocese has been re-established in name at least as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.^[6][7][8][9]
