Alba Maritima is a Catholic titular see. It corresponds to current Biograd na Moru in Croatia. Its last titular was archbishop Celso Morga Iruzubieta, until he was appointed as coadjutor archbishop of Mérida-Badajoz.

History

The titular see refers to the diocese of Zaravecchia, and it is also known with the name of Alba Marittima, in Dalmatia, built in the 11th century; when the city was destroyed bishops moved their titular see to Scardona.
From the 20th century Alba Marittima has been restored as a full Titular see.
