The Uganda National Mosque is a mosque located at Kampala Hill in the Old Kampala area of Kampala, Uganda. Completed in 2006, it seats up to 15,000 worshipers and can hold another 1,100 in the gallery, while the terrace will cater for another 3,500. Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya commissioned the mosque as a gift to Uganda, and for the benefit of the Muslim population. Uganda has many mosques but this one is a skyscraper mosque.〔(New Mosque Redraws Kampala's Skyline ) UGPulse.com, August 24, 2006〕 The completed mosque was opened officially in June 2007 under the name Gaddafi National Mosque, and housed the head offices of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ugpulse.com/uganda-news/people/kayongo-free-to-enter-gadaffi-mosque-mubajje/10902.aspx )〕 It was renamed "Uganda National Mosque" in 2013 following the death of Colonel Gaddafi as the new Libyan administration was "reluctant to rehabilitate the mosque under the old name."〔(Old Kampala mosque drops Gaddafi name ), ''The Observer''〕 ==Image gallery== File:Interior view Kampala National mosque.JPG|Interior view File:Outer_view_Kampala_National_mosque.jpg|View from the front Kampala-Mosque.JPG|Minaret Gaddafi mosque, Kampala.jpg|Dome 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uganda National Mosque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
