Kampala is built on a scattering of hills in southern Uganda, a short distance north of Lake Victoria. The Kasubi Tombs, the burial ground of the Buganda kings, are a World Heritage Site. The Uganda Museum is one of the oldest in East Africa and holds musical instruments and crafts. The hilltop Namirembe and Rubaga cathedrals, and the National Mosque on Old Kampala Hill with its minaret, each give views over the city.
