This Basilica was gorgeous but not what you'd expect in Africa. It's located in Yamoussoukro, the administrative capital of Cote d'Ivoive (Ivory Coast). The basilica was constructed by a prior long-reigning "president" (of course) between 1985 and 1989. The design of the dome and encircling plaza are clearly inspired by the Basilica of Saint Peter in Vatican City although it is not an outright replica.
