Bahá’í Temple

The Mother Temple of Africa, also known as the Kampala Bahá’í House of Worship, is located on Kikaaya Hill in Kawempe Division, in northern Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. The Bahá’í Temple in Kampala is the only Bahá’í' temple in Africa today. It was designed by Charles Mason Remey, an architect.

The temple's dome is made of fixed mosaic tiles from Italy, while the lower roof is made of Belgian tiles. Green, pastel blue, and amber-colored glass from Germany are used in the wall panels. Both the wood used to make the doors and benches, as well as the stone used to build the temple's walls, are native to Uganda. The House of Worship, large gardens, a guest house, and an administrative center are all part of the 50-acre (200,000 m2) site.

Because it has beautiful architecture and belongs to one of the most beautiful historical sites in Uganda, it has attracted hundreds of visitors from all around the world since its completion in 1961. Many photographers of all levels are drawn to the gorgeous grounds. Visitors are not permitted to photograph the interior, though. Visit the Bahá’í Temple in Uganda for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Join the locals for church on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. if you wish to learn more about their religious practices.
