21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Basilica of Notre Damme de la Paix (Our Lady of Peace), Ivory Coast

A three hour bus ride to Yamoussoukro, the political Capital of Ivory Coast, brought me to one of the largest Christian churches of the world. The Basilica was modeled after St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. It was built by a billionaire, Felix Boigny, the first President of the Ivory Coast.
