Ceuta is an 18.5-square-kilometer (7.1 sq mi) Spanish autonomous city located on the north coast of Africa, separated by 14 kilometers from Cadiz province on the Spanish mainland by the Strait of Gibraltar and sharing a 6.4 kilometer land border with M'diq-Fnideq Prefecture in the Kingdom of Morocco.  It is one of nine populated Spanish territories in Africa and, along with Melilla, one of two populated territories on mainland Africa. It was part of Cádiz province until 14 March 1995 when the city's Statute of Autonomy was passed. Most of the autonomous city's population are Christians, Muslims, Sephardic Jews, and Sindhi Hindus. Both Spanish and Moroccan are spoken here.
