Uganda National Mosque, Religious monument in Old Kampala, Uganda
The Uganda National Mosque, built on Kampala Hill, features five large domes and a minaret reaching 50.5 meters with 272 stairs to the top.
The construction started in 1972 under President Idi Amin's regime, remained incomplete until 2006, and opened in 2007 through funding from Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The mosque functions as the headquarters of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council, managing Islamic affairs throughout the country and conducting five daily prayers.
Local visitors enter free while international tourists pay 10,000 Ugandan shillings, with strict dress codes requiring covered arms and legs for all visitors.
The structure stands as the second-largest mosque in Africa, accommodating 200,000 worshippers, with separate floors for special occasions and administrative offices.
