English: Mparo royal tombs is well known for its undying history that, once upon a time, there lived a wildly gutsy king! Omukama Kabalega, the greatest of all times in Bunyoro Kingdom. He is widely remembered here for resisting British colonialists who had allied with Buganda to fight Bunyoro for opposing colonialism. He is a key figure in African history and remains one of the remembered figures for putting on a resilient resistance against imperialism. The royal tombs are the burial site where Omukama (‘King’) Chwa II Kabalega was laid to rest whereby he reigned in Bunyoro-Kitara in the late 19th century. He was exiled to the Seychelles after being defeated eventually in April 1899 by the British colonialists and later died in 1923. Many people pay visits to this site to perform rituals and also to pay homage or seek inspiration from Omukama Kabalega. Infront of the gates to the tombs is a cone-shaped monument painted in white and black. It was built on a site where Sir Emin Pasha first met Kabalega in 1871. While from the inside part there are his spears, bowls, throne and other personal effects on display above the actual place of interment. A place in the South Western Kingdom’s culture is preserved and the leaders celebrated in the most authentic of ways.
