Great Zimbabwe is a historic city in the southeastern hills of Zimbabwe, near Lake Mutirikwe and the town of Masvingo. It served as the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe during the Late Iron Age. Known for its impressive stone architecture, Great Zimbabwe features massive stone walls constructed without mortar, including the iconic Great Enclosure and the Conical Tower. The city thrived between the 11th and 15th centuries, becoming a major trade hub that connected the interior of Africa with the coastal trade routes of the Indian Ocean.
