Basilique Marie-Reine-des-Apôtres

The Basilica of Mary Queen of the Apostles — locally known as the Basilique de Mvolyé — is a Roman Catholic church perched on the Mvolyé hill at the southern edge of Yaoundé, Cameroon's capital. Completed in 1990 and affiliated with the Archdiocese of Yaoundé, it holds the canonical title of Basilica minor, a distinction granted by the Holy See recognizing the church's spiritual importance. Dedicated to Mary under her title Queen of the Apostles, it functions as a significant Marian pilgrimage site for Central African Catholics. Its elevated position on the Mvolyé hillside gives the church a commanding presence over Yaoundé's rolling skyline and affords broad views across the city.
