A Romantic catholic shrine, a martyrdom of St. Andrew Kaggwa with sculptures showing the story how he was killed after after the order of King Mwanga of Buganda in MAY 1886 The environment here is full of blessing. There are numerous trees planted by different noble visitors like Pope Francis and President Museveni of Uganda as a mark for their visit See my photos attached.

Very beautiful Shrine/church in commemoration of the Ugandan Martyrs who were killed at Munyonyo. Very good for prayers. Really big enough to accommodate many worshippers. A Catholic Shrine with such beauty. If you want to feel the spirit of the Uganda Martyrs, it's a place to go.

Stunning place located strategically with ample parking space for all. A beautiful scenery of a swamp and the hills surrounding around

Beautiful Church, ample parking, well maintained gardens. It's a good place for prayer.

I had the privilege of visiting Munyonyo Martyrs Shrine, and the experience left an indelible mark on my heart and soul. This sacred site, nestled by the serene shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From the moment I entered the grounds of the shrine, I was greeted with a palpable sense of tranquility and spirituality. The lush gardens and beautifully landscaped pathways leading to the shrine create an ambiance of serenity that is unmatched. It's a place where nature's beauty complements the spiritual purpose. The basilica itself is a magnificent testament to faith and architecture. Its towering spires and intricate stained glass windows are a sight to behold. As I stepped inside, I was struck by the profound silence that enveloped the sanctuary. It's a silence that invites contemplation and introspection, making it a perfect setting for prayer and reflection. The heart of Munyonyo Martyrs Shrine is, of course, the reverence for the Uganda Martyrs. Their courageous witness to their Christian faith is honored here, and it's impossible not to be moved by their stories. The shrine offers a place to pay homage to these martyrs, whose sacrifices continue to inspire generations.

One of the places one must visit while in Kampala. It's a historic place where a Catholic martyr was killed. The basilica, the gardens and the statues fill this place with a sense of beauty that contrasts with its dark history. I'm definitely looking forward to going back

Great place to come for Prayer, Reflection, Contemplation or Meditation in the shadow of the very first Ugandan Martyrs.

I liked the it's too hoily, full of blessings and the mass was good

I love history and this place was wow 👏 for me. Well kept, clean and welcoming.

Absolutely Divine. The amount of peace I get from being at this place is inexplicable. It's totally worth a spiritual visit

Ample space Hospitable people Free to all people Food is relatively cheap Luxurious and religiously nourishing

I have been visiting Munyonyo Martyrs Shrine for a year now. Every time I do, I take a picture at one of the statues. It's historic significance aside, the shrine is serene with beautifully manicured lawns, trees and walkways to guide visitors. There's ample parking space and the washrooms are clean. The church is magnificent with symmetrically arranged furniture and decorated with golden adornments. The story behind it's historic significance is divine. Indeed, the blood of the Uganda Martyrs are by far the biggest personal sacrifice for one's faith.

Great curated content around the matyrs, and a clean environment.

An Historical land mark for the catholic faith , where one Andrew Kagwa was amputated and executed before the rest of the martyrs proceeded to Namugongo for their execution. Today the Muwafu Tree where the martyrs where tied still stands.Better visit the shrine to see it yourself

A Basilica, stands with more of the Religious historical entailing, the life, fate, and journey of the Uganda Martyrs who were condemned to death before taken to Namugongo, And stands where the first two Martyrs St. Denis Ssebuggwawo and St. Andrew Kaggwa killed, Vatican consecrates to a minor basilica

It's a Catholic place with saint's shrine

Munyonyo martyrs shrine gaveme excellent memories spiritually & physically. Thk u all the organisers.

A beautiful Basilica to pray & renew yourself in a Christian & specifically in a Catholic way. It is also a significant monument that forms a foundation of Christianity in Uganda. It is a very spacious & beautiful Church with a good Sunday school for young children.❤❤

Shrine for martyrs that subscribe to the christian faith. It's also a site where the first converts were murdered under the orders of Kabaka Mwanga. Hundreds of pilgrims storm the site each year for prayers & intercessions

This is one of the Uganda's martyrs Shrine and it's where the remains of St, Andrew Kaggwa are found

It has a great scenery, ample parking space and the history is well portrayed.

A christian tourist site. A place worth visiting.

Apart from 2 martyr monuments theres nothing else to see. This place is small and you can get around in 10min so guide is not necessary. Although they will ask you to take one. Guide is free but you need to make a "voluntary" donation. Nonsense

Lovely place. Great ambience

Catholic Shrine of the Holy Martyrs of Uganda.

One of the most beautiful churches in Uganda.

its the place were King Mwanga took the fateful decision to begin putting Christians to death. The blood of Ugandan's martyrs was shed on the soil around Munyonyo. The first three Christians to render their lives for Christ's sake after the King's decision did so on 26 May 1886 – they were: St. Denis Ssebugwawo, St. Andrew Kaggwa and St. Pontiano Ngondwe. Place where St. Danis was speared In Munyonyo, all of the King's Christian pageboys were captured and sentenced to death at Namugongo (the Kingdom's designated place for execution). The prisoners were grievously bound to each other, and were made to walk their life's final journey escorted by merciless soldiers; theirs was a brutal and soul-inspiring last pilgrimage. On the way to Namugongo, at a lonely spot by the side of a road in Kyamula, Pontiano was martyred – he was the third Ugandan whose love of Christ outshone his desire for life itself. That same day in Munyonyo, servant of God, Fr. Symeon Lourdel (Mapeera) was desperately seeking an audience with the King Mwanga in order to intervene for condemned Christians. However, he was not permitted to see King. Having intuited the grave and imminent danger which was about to befall Uganda's Christian community, as night fell on 25 May 1886, Charles Lwanga (the leader of Uganda's Christian community) secretly baptised four catechumens at Munyonyo: St. Kizito, St. Mbaga, St. Gyavira and St. Muggaga The very morning, King Mwanga brought his whole court before him and separated the Christians from the rest saying, "those who do not pray stand by me, those who do pray stand over there". He proceeded to ask the fifteen boys and young men standing apart whether they were Christian and, if they were, whether they intended to remain so. When they answered "Yes" with strength and courage, Mwanga condemned them all to death. After a short imprisonment, the future martyrs subsequently walked, staggered and were often dragged over a number of days until they finally reached the martyrdom site in Namugongo (3 June 1886).

Nice architecture.

Love it

Good place of worship

Very big Catholic church.

Ma first time going there and the place looks great with nice environment

Beautiful church, gardens, great people, well stocked canteen and gained an amazing spiritual enlightment experience.

Fabulous is the least I can say. Quiet and conducive to prayer and meditation. However, be careful using Google maps to get to the church as you will get lost. Ask local people around there for directions

Organized and enough room for fresh air circulation

Magnificent and beautiful, the shrine is a great piece of art and great architecture plus the spiritual aspect to those of the catholic faith Make it a place one must visit in kampala

Quietly said my prayer in a great, cool and relaxed environment. Lovely and beautiful ambience.

The Minor Basilica Munyonyo gives you a true feel of the Lord's presence and connection with the martyrdom journey of the Uganda Martyr's. The Ambience of the place is very soul refreshing and fulfilling!

A stunning place, with beautifully maintained gardens. A wonderful place to visit, take memorable pictures

The sound system of this place is just too good. It's tidy and the team on ground is very supportive both in Church with the local catechists, the choir and outside with the security team. Wel done

Lovely church that truely depicts the martyrs' shrine, Large compound with big gardens. Specially liked the great views, the cafe and the monumentality of the place not forgetting the access route which heightens the importance of the church.

This is a very beautiful Catholic church. Very well organised for all the Masses said here. Lots of activities. I highly recommend this place for spiritual growth.

Its quiet & peaceful environment Munyonyo Martyrs Basilica enhances your spirituality. It is an amazing place to meet & talk to your God. The Spirit of the Ugandan Martyrs hovers around, they pray for you & pray with you. You cannot come out of Munyonyo the same way you entered. Do not try, but be assured Munyonyo Martyrs Basilica is the right place to visit in your spiritual journeys. Be blessed

It's a great place to have recourse to the fount of His mercy.

Such an amazing place to Visit. Not only is the beauty beyond imagination, there is a lot to learn about the Uganda martyrs. The Relics chapel is one place you can’t afford not to visit.

Perfect place of spiritual enrichment with various activities to enrich one's soul, very child friendly as well with routine Sunday school activities for the little ones.

The basilica is such a peace giving place. Each time am troubled and want to have silence and solitude I go there. I had my wedding from there and I don’t regret.

I haven't been there yet but basing on the pictures and the stories and the adoration chapel that get me longing to be there one day.... And to have a spiritual encounter with my Lord most so in adoration.... I can't wait to have my own story 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Nice spiritual place..beautiful church..👍👍

It's such a quiet and relaxing environment. Convenient place for parties

So quiet, Also a tourist attraction especially when you are interested in the Ugandan martyrs

Air-conditioned place

Wonderfully enriching experience of culture and cuisine

The natural beauty at Munyonyo Martyrs Minor Basilica alone is breathe taking,, when it comes to spiritual life, its by far better than most churches in the whole of Uganda , its the only church where all sacraments are free of charge😍🥰,,, what a privilege!!!!!its outlook n its environment its a city on its own. Come visit this place u will know what am talking about.
