Answer:

The Basilica in Yamoussoukro is a Catholic temple located in the Capital of Ivory Coast. It is the tallest Catholic temple in the world and one of the largest on the planet. It is a replica of the Basilica of San Pedro in the Vatican and has a capacity to receive approximately 300,000 people. It was built between 1986 and 1989 by the president of Ivory Coast (Félix Houphouet-Boigny), who financed the work from his personal funds.
