Don't bother paying the fee to use your camera, you can take photos anyway.. Photos are allowed once you go up stairs, and it is possible to take great snaps.....the church is ...just big..very impressive !

This is very stunning place, and undoubtedly this place is not been explored by tourists much.

About 230+ Kms from Abidjan (Conveyance: Car, Taxi or Bus)

Reason to Discover this place :
1) In terms of height, this is the Tallest Church in the world
2) In Terms of Size (Internal + External), this is the largest Church in the world
3) Just 3 years was taken to construct this marvelous place
4) Can see the excellent seating arrangement for 7000 peoples
5) Each and everything there was designed with some reasons.

Whopping 1.3M $ for annual maintenance.

Entrance is 2000 XOF per person, Would recommend to take Guide to know more about it.

Must visit place

I witnessed today one of the best churches i have ever seen. Immensely huge and reflecting the faith of the people of Cote D'Ivoire. You have to visit the cathedral to witness the greatness

On a day trip to Yamoussoukro from Abidjan with colleagues, we did the guided tour of the Basilica. It's a replica of St Peter's in Rome, but slightly taller! (St Peter's only keeps the name of biggest church in the world because it has more chapels) It's well worth spending the two hours and two euros it takes to do this tour, it's very informative and makes you appreciate what an amazing piece of engineering this building is! As well as being gorgeous of course.
Be warned, part includes walking around the dome on the outside so take a hat, and take plenty of water when the heat is bearing down.
