#11. ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL IN ABIDJAN – COTE D’IVOIRE
St Paul’s Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the city of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. The first stone of the cathedral was consecrated on May 11, 1980, by Pope John Paul II during his first pastoral visit to Côte d’Ivoire.
The cathedral, which was designed by architect Aldo Spirito, serves as the mother church for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Abidjan, it is reputedly the second largest church on the African continent (as of 2002), and one of the largest cathedrals in the world, estimated at $12 million. It was built to meet the specific aspirations of the ethnic people of Côte d’Ivoire.
