Considered one of the biggest churches in West Africa, the cathedral of Ougadogou was built in 1930 and took two years to be completed. What’s interesting about this church is that it was built entirely with mud brick but in a European architectural style.
It also comes with a stone-carved statue of Virgin Mary.
