    Nice church from outside but that is all. I am happy I saw it but no reason to come back.

    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

    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

    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.
