Kasubi Tombs, Royal burial grounds in Rubaga Division, Uganda
The Kasubi Tombs consist of a large circular structure with a thatched dome roof, covering an area of 26 hectares on Kasubi Hill.
The site transformed from a palace to burial grounds in 1884 after the death of Muteesa I, the 35th Kabaka of the Buganda Kingdom.
Four Buganda kings rest within separate chambers of the main building, where traditional ceremonies maintain connections between past monarchs and current generations.
Guides at the tombs explain the burial customs, architectural methods, and royal traditions through detailed tours available in multiple languages.
The main building, Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, represents the largest grass-thatched structure in Africa, constructed using traditional Ganda building techniques.
