Kilwa kisiwani

Kilwa Kisiwani was occupied from the 9th to the 19th centuries, with the 13th and 14th centuries being the most prosperous. Ibn Battouta, a notable traveler, stopped here in 1331-1332 and rated Kilwa as one of the most beautiful historical sites in the world.

Kilwa is a full-length film. Kilwa Kisiwani was a historic Islamic city-state located off the coast of what is now southern Tanzania on an island. It became one of the busiest trade towns on Africa's east coast after being founded in the late 10th century by settlers from Arabia and Persia (now Iran). It was briefly held by the Portuguese (1505-112) before progressively fading in importance and being abandoned. Mosques, a Portuguese castle, and the magnificent Husuni Kubwa Palace have all been maintained (13th-14th centuries).
