Ouagadougou Cathedral

October 10, 2023
Ouagadougou Cathedral is one of the largest cathedrals in the western or southern African countries. It took two years to complete this cathedral that has a Romanesque Basilica Style of Architecture, you’d mistake it for a European building except for its beautiful earthen color which gives it an African Feel as its exterior was constructed using red mud bricks. It also has a stone arch carve of the Virgin Mary. This church with no spire and steeples of different height has been standing since the 1930s and is a unique landmark of Burkina Faso.  

Thank you Taouvik!
