Fort Lugard

Fort Lugard is a historic site in Kampala showcasing colonial-era architecture. #History #Kampala @fort_lugard

This building right here is a visual of when foreigners come to conquer your land and build an office in the same land. The office then becomes the place to run and plan the colonization of the people and land. Wild.nnFort Lugard was constructed in 1890-1891 by Captain Frederick Lugard, a British colonial administrator, during the period of British colonial rule in East Africa-he was in charge of the colonial operations within Uganda. The fort served as an administrative center for the Imperial British East Africa Company. It is also the first brick building in Uganda.nnAccessing the site is free and is very easily accessible. It however seems like it has just been deserted and I hope they conserve this site since it is a part of the Ugandan history.nnTour by @tembeakampalawalkingtours (IG)

Such a nice historic place and a good place to visit.

The Fort is located at old Kampala hill directly overlooking the City Center and it is situated about 2 km North-West of the Kampala City center between Old Kampala mosque and Old Kampala secondary school. The Fort is of national importance and signifies the country’s colonial era under the rule of Captain Lugard as first Governor of the Protectorate. Frederick Lugard was a British soldier  who arrived in Uganda in the 1890s and built his fort on top of the hill. The original fort was relocated to a different site on the hill in 2003, to accommodate the largest mosque in Uganda.

Though we can hardly recognize such historical sites. There should be some extra attention paid to the facility

No longer open. But there's a craft market for those interested.
