Construction phases of the Great Mosque at Kilwa Kisiwani

node

The Great Mosque at Kilwa was likely founded in the tenth century, with major construction in the eleventh or twelfth century and again in the thirteenth. It is the oldest standing mosque on the East African coast. The building sequence tracks Kilwa's commercial rise: monumental religious architecture appears where trade wealth and a locally rooted Muslim elite already existed.
