Kasubi Tombs

1882 · 19th century

The Kasubi Tombs on Kasubi Hill in Kampala are the burial place of four kabakas of Buganda: Mutesa I, Mwanga II, Daudi Chwa II and Mutesa II. The main building, a large domed structure of wood, reed and thatch, was built as Mutesa I's palace in 1882 and became his tomb in 1884. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, and badly damaged by fire in 2010.
