Basilique Saint-Pierre-Chanel de Poi, Catholic minor basilica in Poi, Wallis and Futuna.
The basilica features a grand stepped tower and houses the relics of Saint Pierre Chanel within a dedicated chapel near the Pacific coast.
Built in 1986, this religious site marks the location where Father Pierre Chanel was martyred in 1841 while performing missionary work.
The basilica serves as the main Catholic pilgrimage destination in Polynesia, attracting visitors from across the Pacific Islands region.
The basilica complex includes a museum opened in 1991 that displays artifacts and documents related to Saint Pierre Chanel's life.
The tomb of Musumusu, who later converted to Catholicism and requested burial near the chapel, sits beneath a white cross on the basilica grounds.
