Overview
Munyonyo is one of the most upscale residential neighborhoods in the city of Kampala. It is the location of two of Kampala's resorts: the Speke Resort and Conference Center and the Commonwealth Resort. The latter was the venue of the 2007 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, also known as the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2007.
Munyonyo is also a martyrdom spot of the Uganda Martyrs. Catholic saints Andrew Kaggwa and Denis Ssebuggwawo Wasswa and Anglican Mukasa Musa were murdered on 25 and 26 May 1886 by King Mwanga II of Buganda. Other martyrs were imprisoned in Munyonyo and taken for execution in Namugongo. On the same day in Munyonyo, four catechumens: Kizito, Gyaviira Musoke, Mbaga Tuzinde, and Mugagga Lubowa were secretly baptized by Charles Lwanga, at that time the leader of Uganda's Christian community.
