Kilwa Kisiwani
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kilwa Kisiwani is a small island across the water from Kilwa Masoko in South-Eastern Tanzania.

Kilwa has been inhabited since the beginning of the 9th century and reached its peak in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Kilwa Kisiwani became an important town due to its control of the gold trade from Zimbabwe and Sofala in Mozambique as well as the slave trade right up to the 19th century.

Now  only the ruins remain of these times gone by...
