Lubaga Cathedral, also known as St. Mary's Cathedral, is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala. Perched atop Lubaga Hill, one of Kampala's original seven hills, the cathedral features two prominent spires that dominate the skyline. Visitors can explore the spacious nave, admire the stained-glass windows, and enjoy sweeping views of the city and Lake Victoria from the grounds. The site holds deep spiritual significance for Ugandan Catholics and is a center for major religious celebrations.
