Kasubi Tombs

LandmarkWorld Heritage Site

Grass thatched round house containing the tombs and insignia of Mutesa I, and three northern subsequent rulers of Buganda

The Kasubi Tombs in Kampala, Uganda, is the site of the burial grounds for four kabakas and other members of the Baganda royal family. As a result, the site remains an important spiritual and political site for the Ganda people, as well as an important example of traditional architecture. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 2001, when it was described as "one of the most remarkable buildings using purely vegetal materials in the entire region of sub-Saharan Africa".
