This is an image of the Mother Temple of Africa situated on Kikaya Hill on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda that was designed by Charles Mason Remey. Its foundation stone was laid in January 1958, and it was dedicated on 13 January 1961. The building is more than 130 feet high, and over 100 meters in diameter at the base. The dome, made up of lace-like tiles rises over 124 feet high and is 44 feet in diameter. The foundation goes 10 feet underground to protect it from earthquakes common in this part of the world. The fifty acre property includes the House of Worship, extensive gardens, a guesthouse, and an administrative center. | ||
