Namirembe Cathedral, officially St. Paul's Cathedral, is the oldest Anglican cathedral in Uganda and a key landmark on Namirembe Hill. Built in the early 20th century, its red-brick exterior and simple yet elegant interior reflect colonial-era design. The cathedral grounds offer a tranquil escape from the city bustle, with well-maintained gardens and a clear view of Kampala's hills. It remains an active place of worship and a symbol of the Anglican Church's history in Uganda.
