Ouagadougou Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, serves as the principal church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ouagadougou. Constructed in the 1930s under the direction of Apostolic Vicar Joanny Thévenoud of the White Fathers, the cathedral was completed in two years and consecrated on January 19, 1936, during the era of French West Africa. The building features a simple yet striking design, with a notable outdoor altar behind it dedicated to the Virgin Mary, adorned with a statue set within a carved stone arch. Its historical and religious significance makes it a notable landmark in Burkina Faso's capital.
