Kampala Capital of Uganda

Uganda’s principal headquarters for international and regional organizations are located in Kampala, Uganda. Inside is the East Africa Development Bank and one of the best universities in East and Central Africa, Makerere University. The city’s first well-known Buganda kingdom structures were the Buganda Parliament, Buganda Court of Justice, Kasubi Tombs, and Lubiri Palace. Kampala, formerly known as the “city of seven hills,” has developed into a hub of more sophisticated infrastructure, complete with boulevards, walkways, and roads.

The Uganda Museum, Uganda National Theatre, Nakasero Market, and St. Balikuddembe Market—a well-liked spot to buy African print textiles and antiques—are some of Kampala’s most well-known attractions. One of the seven Bahai houses of worship in the world is located nearby in the capital city and is situated outside of the capital city on Kikaya Hill.

The Gaddafi Mosque was constructed by the previous leader of Libya, Colonel Gaddafi. It is the largest in Kampala capital and the second largest in Africa. The major mosque for the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, Ahmadiyya Central Mosque, has six minarets and can accommodate more than 9,000 worshipers at once.

At the Namugongo Martyrs Shrine, 22 young Catholic martyrs were burned to ashes by Kabaka Mwanga for disobeying him after listening to missionaries’ sermons on worship. Thus, the Catholic Church and Anglicans celebrate their religious heroes on June 3rd of each year.
