The richness of Church history is visible in this landmark of Kampala whihc was constructed in 1925. It is built on one of the seven hills of uganda and it was notable two bell towers that are visible from afar. There is also a very beautiful statue of Mother Mary welcoming pilgrims and the locals.

St. Mary's cathedral rubaga , is a good place for both learning the historical facts of the fore fathers of faith in Uganda and a about also the baganda kingdom also, good environment for any body to rest in.

Highly historical. Located at previous palace of the Kabaka of Buganda, which was destroyed by fire. The stained glass window tells the stories of the martyrdom of the Ugandans in 1885. The oldest baptismal font in East Africa is also found here.

Its great and big

It's open to everyone since its on the road side

The Independence Monument is in many ways one of the most important pieces of Uganda’s heritage. Located along Speke road in Kampala.The Independence Monument was funded by the British Colonial government. The Independence Monument is a symbol of Ugandan history and cultural heritage. The monument was unveiled by Uganda's first Prime Minister Apollo Milton Obote on October 5, 1962, three days before Uganda's first Independence celebrations.

The independence monument is indeed the spirit of Uganda as you visibly look at it say much of the true independence Uganda achieved back from the colonial days.the place is neat and tidy.there is a enough space and the quietness and relaxation plus the feeling of independence you get while you are there make it indeed true to the name of the monument.i loved it being there.

Services are for one hour only and observance of covid sops

I had a chance to go to this Church and I found it favoured to everyone,people are welcoming and cooperative. The furniture is wow..and while at this place ,you can observe the who if Kampala city..its a good place

Rubaga cathedral is the first Catholic Church in Uganda a place worthy a visit while in Kampala. You will meet the area guides with brilliant information to pass on to you

I can say that Kampala, the capital city of Uganda is also the capital of religion in East Africa coz basing on the number of cathedrals and other notable places of worship like the Namugongo Shrine, Rubaga Cathedral, Namirembe Cathedral, Baha'i Temple and so many others it is in deed also a religion capital of the East African region. When in Kampala, create some time to visit the St Mary's Cathedral at Rubaga Hill. It is a very beautiful house of worship. I understand that at least 3 pope's have visited this church. It has so much history that you shouldn't miss. Entry to the Rubaga cathedral is FREE. You don't have to pay anything. If lucky you can also be able to see inside the church. Taking of photos is also allowed. Take as many as you can. If you have much time you can also come on Sunday for a service.

I attended a send off of Dr. Paul Kawanga Semwogerere, an elder, senior citizen and statesman... There never a better venue nor a befitting ceremony as one celebrated in the Historical Rubaga Cathedral.

St Mary's Cathedral Rubaga, many call it Rubaga church is a Catholic based church at the top of Rubaga hill. It's a silent place with just sounds of wind and passing by birds

Nice and quite place! Parking available. Street vendors sell souvenirs.

Beautiful architecture. Loved every moment inside. Most see when in Kampala.

One of the largest and oldest worship centers in Uganda. Its a place to visit even if you aint Catholic. And worry not, its an open place for anyone to access. Its secure as there are people always monitoring the place. But in all, its a beautiful site to visit.

Very very good place that makes u feel u're Sincerely in God's hands.

Rubaga Cathdral Another Cathedral but this one is of the Catholic persuasion. Again this cathedral is located on one of Kampala’s many hills so views are great. Kampala is fabled to have 7 hills. It in fact has 22 but Rubaga is one of the original ones and, therefore, worth a visit for historical reasons. The cathedral also boasts a memorial to the first African Catholic bishop in Uganda martyred for the cause of bringing Catholicism to Uganda and is the current headquarters of the Catholic Church in Uganda.

Saint Mary's Cathedral Rubaga, commonly referred to as Rubaga Cathedral, is the parent cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala, the oldest Roman Catholic diocese in Uganda. It is the home church of Archbishop of Kampala.

The historical

I don't think its well positioned. It needs more development as a tourism site.

Place to visit on your tour in Kampala

On this 57th anniversary of the country. Its the vest time to visit the independence monument and remember the freedom we achieved. Uganda has gone through many challenges including wars & diseases but this has not crushed our spirit as a country. It's very important to recognize such landmarks which remind us of our history. Its the hope of the nation to look back on such monuments as those that stand.

Beautiful Catholic Church, if you're in Kampala, it has beautiful architecture. One of the oldest church in Uganda

RUBAGA CATHEDRAL CHURCH St Mary's Cathedral (Rubaga cathedral) a Roman Catholic church, it is located on Rubaga hill about 5 kilometres from the city centre.

It is a catholic cathedral church found in Rubaga Division Kampala District

It’s such a great place for any catholic to visit in Uganda… very cool environment with great choir. It’s located on top of a Rubaga hill so whenever u wish to go just be ready for a steep slope…

Catholic Cathedral in located on top of Lubaga hill in Kampala Capital City. With amazing history of the Catholic Church in Uganda. The architectural sights within and outside the church are quite exquisite 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Good place to meditate Very peaceful place...

Time driven English mass is always at 8am on sundays

Place is nice though we need some good ventilation inside especially when there is a big day celebration going on. We were sweating inside on the Archdiocese day. Naye some more fans but otherwise the rest was fine

This was the site for Kabaka (King) of Buganda Kingdom, Muteesa's official palace from where he invited the missionaries from England to Uganda to spread Christianity on 15th November 1875 through a published daily Telegraph with written thanks to the Explorer, Henry Morton Stanley. #HistoricalSite #ReligousTourism #RubagaCathedral

Beautiful place, enter is free. At the moment that we were there, was some wedding. Visit was without guide. Very nice to see the place.

Very nice and correct of them to ask a compulsory donation only at the moment when you are leaving the Church, after a 35 seconds guided visit.

Silent place and sacred, for people interested in prayers and adoration, I recommend anyone who is that type of person

Wonderful, a blessing to be here

What a beautiful place, house of God and historical in Uganda, I wish my matrimony is celebrated there

The main catholic church in uganda. It is welcoming and gives a peace of mind

Nice place with a combination of Art and surroundings.

This monument to Ugandan independence features a man unwrapping & holding a child to the sky. Standing majestically at a height of 6 metres, is a must see if you are travelling to Kampala. It was constructed by former British Colonial Government just before Uganda celebrated its first independence on Tuesday 9th October 1962.

I love the simplicity in the complexity of the sculpture, the gardens around.. There is nothing threatening around and it really gives the feeling of independence when one takes a few minutes to catch a breath from the noise and confusion from Kampala city.

Great experience

A great historical point worthy a visit.

It shows Ugandas independence journey

It has a nice view to the city

St Mary's Cathedral Lubaga is the epitome of the catholic faith in Uganda. Majestically sitting atop Lubaga, one of the hills that make up greater Kampala, it is a sight that cannot go unnoticed even if from afar. The Archbishop's official residence is also in very close proximity.

It's a beautiful place of worship

Enjoyed our Christmas mass here

Fascinatingly elegant, conducive for praying, a historical catholic church on Lubaga Hill top.

A beautiful Cathedral on top of the 7 original hills that make up Kampala . Fantastic architecture and an especially wonderful church service.

You come out of the cathedral when you are contented that God has answered your prayers

It is very nice place for catholics

My first time entering the cathedral was a hubling experience. The sheer magnitude of the church and the splendor. The level of craftsmanship expressed in the brickwork detail surpasses any I've seen in my lifetime. It comes from an era of the industrial revolution when the skils were shiped to the coloneis. It's magnificent and authentically satisfying.

Love the cathedral, it has a calming effect and it's very historical and too orderly and clean reminds me of my chi6days.

An amazing place to be in the presence of God.

Amazon experience in the presence of God.
