A striking modernist cathedral on a hill in Plateau, designed by Italian architect Aldo Spirito with a giant cross from which the swooping roof appears to be suspended. Admission is free, and on most days you can climb the interior stairway up toward the 'outstretched arms' of the cross for sweeping views over the Cocody lagoon and Abidjan's skyline.
