Basilica of Our Lady of Peace is the tallest Catholic church in the world at the height of 158.0 meters or 518 feet. The construction of the church started in 1985, and it was completed very quickly in 1989. It is also the largest church in terms of volume as well. However, as you can see that it is a rather modern construction, but it is still very impressive for what it is. Ivory Coast is a popular tourist destination, and at the city of Yamoussoukro, the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace is a major attraction.
