The coronation of His Highness Prince Karim Al-Hussaini Aga Khan IV in Kampala, in 1957, brought to Uganda the installation of the Shia Ismaili Muslims’ Imam for the first time in 14 centuries.
Today, few are aware of the mosque at Old Kampala, where the Aga Khan was crowned. It remains a quiet, solemn place, attracting very little attention despite its prime location in the middle of the city.
