🧿 Manyikeni

← All archaeological sites

Manyikeni is a Mozambican archaeological site, around 52 km west of the coastal city of Vilankulo. The archaeological site dates from the twelfth to seventeenth century. It is believed to be part of the Great Zimbabwe tradition of architecture, distinguished by mortarless stone walls, and part of the famous Mwenu Mutapa’s Kingdom. The central stone enclosure complex is built in this tradition, and the find of a Zimbabwe-style iron gong at the site also suggests cultural ties.
