Naggalabi Coronation Site Buddo:
The nation was born out of the unification of ancient kingdoms, as well as many smaller independent chieftains now part of the richness of the modern state. This heritage lives on in the hearts of the people, their traditional dress, languages, dances and customs. Today, all Ugandans live together, proud to be one people, but cherish the memory of their history and keep alive the traditions of their ancestors.

Naggalabi Coronation Site Buddo is where the Kabakas of Buganda have been crowned for the past 700 years.
