Kasubi Tombs, Kampala, Uganda are the burial grounds for four previous Kabakas (Kings of the Buganda Kingdom) and a World Hertiage Site. The royal enclosure at Kasubi hill was first built in 1881. Also known as the Ssekabaka's Tombs, these are the royal tombs where the following Kabakas are buried: Mutesa I (1835-1884) Mwanga II (1867-1903) Daudi Chwa II (1896-1939) and Sir Edward Mutesa II. Kasubi Tombs were an important spiritual and political site for the Baganda, as well as a tourist attraction. On 16 March 2010, at about 8.30 pm local time, the Kasubi tombs were destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire is as yet unknown. The Buganda kingdom has promised to conduct independent investigations into the fire, alongside the national police force. | |
