Sacred Crocodiles at Presidential Palace

No doubt that the city of Yamousukro is disconcerting, not only does it provide the largest airport in Africa, one of the few in which could land the once famous and weighted concorde, but also does it have the honor of hosting the largest university in the west of the African continent. There is also according to the Guiness book the largest Christian church built on the face of the earth, the Notre dame de la paix whose dimensions exceed those of St. Peter in Rome. Not content with these awards the late president, Houphouet-Boigny, wanted to leave a legacy to their successors a whopping Versailles-style palace that surrounded a gigantic lagoon and extensive avenues.
