Great Zimbabwe


Great Zimbabwe is indeed great. Dating from the 13th Century, it is "the greatest medieval structure in sub-saharan Africa". It gave its name to Zimbabwe and it's fascinating place. Its dry-stone walls seem barely battered by time. Goods from Arabia and China were found there, along with the famous soapstone birds - one of which graces the national flag.
