Kampala Mosque, National mosque in Old Kampala, Uganda
The mosque features a central golden dome and multiple minarets rising above the Kampala skyline, constructed entirely of reinforced concrete materials.
Initially named Gaddafi National Mosque upon its 2007 inauguration, the religious complex changed its designation to Uganda National Mosque following the Libyan leader's death.
The building functions as the headquarters of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council and represents the primary gathering space for Islamic ceremonies in the country.
The mosque accommodates 12,200 worshippers simultaneously, with interior halls holding 1,100 people and exterior terraces containing space for 3,500 additional attendees.
From the mosque's elevated position on Old Kampala Hill, visitors can access panoramic views extending across all seven of the capital city's hills.
