Yamoussoukro is Côte d’Ivoire’s political capital. Its broad avenues, institutional spaces and monuments create an urban landscape very different from Abidjan.
The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace is the city’s great icon and one of the country’s best-known monuments.
An institutional and symbolic capital
Yamoussoukro works well for religious tourism, architecture and history itineraries, as well as institutional and business engagements.
