The area study took place along kabaka ANJAGALA road in mengo kamplala central Uganda and the population target involved respondents who were officials from the tourism board of Buganda plus residents along kabaka ANJAGALA road. My data was analyzed through both quantitative and qualitative data approaches mainly through the use questionnaires and also observation method by use of the camera and eyes too. It was found out that the area onto which the sculptures were placed obtained trees known as " Kabaka ANJAGALA" and they were placed their as a land mark that was given to each clan by the king of Buganda along kabaka ANJAGALA road. In conclusion, I found out that the sculptures were established mainly to safe guard land given to each clan and also for the king to easily identify the clans during ceremonies.
