Ouagadougou Cathedral

Ouagadougou Cathedral (French: Cathédrale de l'Immaculée-Conception de Ouagadougou) is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ouagadougou in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, titled Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. It was built in the 1930s and is one of the largest cathedrals in the western or southern African countries.

The building material is mudbrick, traditional in the region. The architecture is reminiscent of a European romanesque basilica, but intentionallyШаблон:Citation needed evokes the impression of incompleteness. The basilica shape is realised only in two basic levels so that the edifice resembles a manor house or mansion, though covering a wide area. Especially noticeable are the two steeples of different height, unfeignedly unfinished and lacking any spire.
