    My husband and I were married there, and it was the best decision I every made. Other than the occasional brawls, it is a vibrant church and the heart of the city. Do not bring any suspicious...

    This is THE tourist attraction in Bangui. The church is very outstanding and a must-visit if you find yourself in Bangui. Church staff are accommodating to visitors. Come for a visit!

    You should visit and pray on Sunday. The choir sings very very very well, in french and sango (local language).

    Ancient colonial religious edifice. Very beautiful. Angelic choruses were heard inside when we visited.

    Basic place to stay. Church services will wake you up early.
  • By Boris Fisher
    The coronation place of: Jean-Bédel Bokassa, the lunatic of all lunatics and the first "emperor" of Africa, who unfortunately made Central Africa world famous. This place commemorates a dictator who flew in 30 white horses, 1.5 tons of military medals, 20,000 bottles of champagne and a golden carriage from Paris for his coronation ceremony. This place should always be there as a warning and reminder for the people of this terrible dictator

    The tourist attraction of Bangui is a beautiful structure with a nice history. It’s well worth a visit!
  • By Lena Gülzau
    If this was a copy of the Parisian Notre-Dame, then the architect was even crazier than Bokassa.
