Tombs of Buganda Kings at Kasubi
World Heritage
Uganda
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Tombs of the Buganda Kings at Kasubi are located in the Kampala District and cover nearly 30 hectares. Most of the site is agricultural land, cultivated using traditional methods. The core of the hilltop is the old palace of the Kabaka of Buganda, built in 1882 and converted into a royal cemetery in 1884. Four royal tombs exist within the main building, Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, which is circular in shape and topped with a dome. It is an excellent example of building using organic materials, primarily wood, thatch, reeds, wattle and mud. However, the main significance of the site lies in its intangible values of faith, spirituality, continuity and identity.
