  • Royal Tombs at Kasubi



    The Bujjabukula, gatehouse to the Kasubi Tombs area, is built of wooden columns with walls made of woven reeds, and is topped by a thatched roof. Finely woven reeds are also used for a screen that obscures the interior of the house from the outside but can be seen through from the inside. Behind this screen are guards who control access to the tombs and their associated buildings.

    Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, the primary building of the Kasubi complex, is circular in plan with a domelike overall shape. Massive in size, its interior extends to a height of 7.5 meters while the external diameter is 31 meters. Architecturally, the tomb is a powerful manifestation of Ganda cultural identity and spiritual belief systems. It is structurally defined by a low, wide arch entranceway, regionally-unique and durable thatch work on the massive roofs (extending all the way to the ground), and interior funereal chambers separated by partitions of bark cloth; all of these features are designed to create a strong impression of power and harmoniousness. Four of the Kabakas are interred in these limited-access funereal chambers, which are designed to represent a sacred forest (the Kibira). Lemon grass and palm leaf mats cover the floor, while spears, drums, shields, medals, and photos of the Kabakas cover the walls and other surfaces. Muzibu Azaala Mpanga, as with all of the buildings on-site, is constructed of entirely organic materials such as wood, thatch, reed, wattle and daub; this is firmly in keeping with Ganda traditional sacred architecture.
