Mnarani ruins

The Mnarani ruins are the remains of two mosques near Mnarani in Kilifi County, Kenya, dating from the 15th century.

Description

The remains of the two mosques are located on a bluff overlooking Kilifi Creek from the southern side. The settlement at the site dates back to the 14th century, and the site also contains a number of tombs. People left this settlement in the early 17th century, supposedly due to a lack of fresh water and raids by neighbors.

Access to the Mnarani ruins is subject to an entry ticket.
