What do you know about Kasubi Tombs in Uganda? Look!     Kasubi Tombs in Kampala , Uganda, is the site of the burial grounds for four Kabaka’s (Buganda kings) and other members of the Baganda royal family. The Kasubi Tombs that was first built in 1881 on the Kasubi hill in Kampala was later declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. 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. To the people of the Buganda (the largest sub-national kingdom in present-day Uganda), the tombs are a symbol of a spiritual, political and social state of its people. Despite the unfortunate incident, the site still gets regular visits while the main palace is being rebuilt and structured. The World Heritage Site comprises around 26 hectares (64 acres) on the Kasubi hill in the city of Kampala about 5 kilometres northwest of the city centre. Most of the site is open agricultural land
