Description
Songo Mnara, Tanzania, 1600 AD

Songo Mnara is a historic Swahiili settlement located on Songo Mnara Island in present-day Tanzania. The island is home to a Medieval Swahili city which was occupied from the 14th to 16th centuries AD. Songo Mnara has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with nearby Kilwa Kisiwani. In total, archaeologists have found six mosques, four cemeteries, and two dozen house blocks along with three enclosed open spaces on the island. Songo Mnara was constructed from rough-coral and mortar. This city was built as one of many trade centres on the Indian Ocean.
