Hiding in the center of Uganda's Campara, the grave of Kasubi is not a normal historic place, but a living work in the royal family.
This UNESCO's World Heritage Site is the last rest of the four kings of the Buganda kingdom, one of the most important cultural landmarks in Uganda.
The tomb reminds me of the rich past and mental heritage of the kingdom.
Mukasa, born in Uganda, told the BBC when he first visited Kusubi's tomb.
“Not only the size of it, but the overall building of the building.
“(It) was built in the late 19th century before the introduction of modern materials, using traditional centuries.
“I felt that the building had a presence.
“When you were inside, it ruled you.”
The tomb built in the 19th century is a tremendous architecture made of roofs and wooden pillars touching grass introducing traditional Buganda craftsmanship.
The inside of the building reflects a sacred forest with 52 circular rings that symbolize all of the Buganda clan.
This site is a symbol of the circulation of life and death, and praises the king that form the past of the kingdom.
The tombs are the archeological sites of Buganda's four kings, Kabaka Mutesa I, Mtesa II, Mwanga, and Doudi Chuwa.
However, the grave of Kasubi is not only in the past. They are the places where Buganda people celebrate their culture and spirituality through rituals and rituals.
In 2010, the catastrophic fire broke the site, including the grave of Kabakamitesa I, and the people were shocked.
Just three years later, another fire broke out, and some of the sites were destroyed again, including the traditional regalia recovered from the previous flame.
With the help of an international partner, the Buganda kingdom has begun a journey that recovers the grave and ensure their survival for future generations.
The symbolic tomb was deprived of a list of UNESCO World Heritage Dangers in 2023, and was open to the public a few months ago, and the surge in visitor has been renewed.
