    Yet another very interesting example of the wonderful architecture that exists in this country! This foundation for the research and development of peace in Africa and the world was masterminded by late president Felix Houphouet-Boigny and designed by French architect Olivier-Clément Cacoub. It showcases beautiful interiors, with staircases and floors in marble (some were Portuguese and Italian), wood-paneled doors with metal details, and intricate chandeliers. The foundation houses two amphitheaters that are, like other buildings in the Ivory Coast, a time capsule of the '70s, as all decor is original (chairs, desks, wall panels, lights, microphones, etc); as well as several other meeting rooms, lounges, and a bookshop.
