Bula

Bula was a royal seat in the Kongo country northwest of Mbanza Kongo. During the kingdom's civil wars, rival claimants established courts in different places, including Bula, Kibangu and the old capital. Bula was also known as Lemba. In the late seventeenth century it served as the residence of one of the contenders for the Kongo throne.

The later city of Matadi lies here.
