The Cathedral of Our Lady of Mercy of Cotonou

Like large cities, Cotonou has its cathedral. It is located on Avenue Clozel in Cotonou and not far from the Ganhi market. It is a remarkable red and white building on the roadside. Its construction plan is a basilica plan with triple aisle which characterizes ancient buildings, as opposed to the Latin cross plan which gradually became widespread over the following centuries. It is managed by the Archdiocese of Cotonou.
