Kira Town

The Catholic Basilica of the Uganda Martyrs has been built at Namugongo, located in Kyaliwajjala Ward, where the majority of the twenty two Catholic Uganda Martyrs (now Saints) were burned alive on the orders of Ssekabaka Mwanga II in the late 19th century.

In 2007, the former location was sold to an investor to construct the thirty-story luxury Kampala Intercontinental Hotel.
