M'banza-Kongo was once the home of the Manikongo , the ruler of the Kingdom Of Kongo , which at its peak reached from Southern Africa 's Atlantic coast into the heart of Africa. The ''Jalankuwo'', the Manikongo's judgement tree, can still be found in the downtown area of the city. It is also known for the ruins of its Fifteenth-century cathedral, which many Angolans claim is the oldest church in Sub-Saharan Africa . Pope John Paul II visited the site during his tour of Angola in 1992. |
