Yamoussoukro is the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire, located in the south-central part of the country, and although the economic center is still Abidjan, the city is politically significant. It was planned and relocated by former Ivorian President Félix Houphouët-Boigny to create a modern political center. The city's most famous landmark is the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, a neo-Byzantine structure that is one of the largest churches in the world, with a capacity of 18,000 people, emphasizing its religious and cultural influence. Yamoussoukro, with a population of around 300,000, has wide, clean streets that blend administrative functions with a tranquil atmosphere, making it a central hub of governance in Côte d'Ivoire and an important window into the country's political development.
Schellenberg is a historic municipality in the north of Liechtenstein and one of the smallest administrative regions in the country, situated on the gentle slopes of the Rhine Valley, close to the Swiss border. Although small, the town carries the story of Liechtenstein's origins - the ruins of the "Upper Liechtenstein" castle, which is a testament to the Liechtenstein family's acquisition of territories in the 13th century, and the remains of its medieval stone walls still attract history buffs to explore the town. The town of Schellenberg is characterized by its tranquil atmosphere. Schellenberg is known for its idyllic, rural atmosphere, where visitors can stroll along winding paths with views of the Alps and the Rhine, or explore the traditional wooden houses and family-owned breweries for a taste of Liechtenstein's slower pace of life. As an important node of Liechtenstein's "Culture Trail", traditional events such as the Medieval Market are held every year, allowing visitors to experience the richness of this miniature country in a relaxed atmosphere.
