Koupéla is a city in Burkina Faso, lying east of Ouagadougou (137km (85miles)) and west of Fada-Ngourma (82km (51miles)) in an area settled by the Mossi people. It is known for its pottery and sculptures; these were made from natural clays found in the area. In 1900 Koupéla became the site of the first Catholic mission in Burkina Faso.[2] Today it is the seat of an archdiocese, and contains a cathedral.
