The Republic of the Congo, also called Congo-Brazzaville, is a central African nation with rainforest reserves that are habitats for gorillas. Its capital city, Brazzaville, lies across the Congo River from Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s capital. Brazzaville’s highlights include the mid-20th-century Basilique Sainte Anne, with its green-tiled roof and spire, as well as traditional crafts markets.
