PLACES OF INTEREST

Basilica Notre Dame de la Paix

Basilica Notre Dame de la Paix, also known as Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yammousoukro is one of the greatest prides of the Ivory Coast. It is considered as the tallest and largest church in the world. Its construction started in 1985 and was finished 4 years later. The president of Ivory Coast, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, wanted to venerate himself through the construction of the largest church in the world at his birthplace, Yammousoukro. The president was depicted in a stained glass offering a gift to Jesus with his apostles. Pope John Paul II consecrated the church on September 10, 1990. The Basilica Notre Dame de la Paix is designed after Rome’s Basilica of Saint Peter.
