Situated on Kasubi hill about 5km from the city centre along the kampala-hoima road just off the Masindi road is the legendary  Kasubi tombs ; a world heritage site which was first built in 1881 as a royal palace for the kings but was turned into a tomb in 1884 and this is where the four past Buganda Kings are buried. It is here at the Kasubi tombs where Buganda's culture is born and the burial place for the last four Kabakas,this is where the Baganda flock to worship and pay their respects to the ancestors  .The main building is circular and surmounted by a dome and while at the tombs there is a guide who will take you around the tombs while explaining the history of the Baganda ,the largest ethnic group in Uganda.After your tour,there is a shop selling traditionally made gifts which you may buy as sourveniers.
