Yamoussoukro: the political heart of Côte d'Ivoire
Yamoussoukro is the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire, located in the south-central part of the country, and although the economic center is still Abidjan, the city is politically significant. It was planned and relocated by former Ivorian President Félix Houphouët-Boigny to create a modern political center. The city's most famous landmark is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, a neo-Byzantine structure that is one of the largest churches in the world, with a capacity of 18,000 people, emphasizing its religious and cultural influence. Yamoussoukro, with a population of around 300,000, has wide, clean streets that blend administrative functions with a tranquil atmosphere, making it a central hub of governance in Côte d'Ivoire and an important window into the country's political development.
