Kilwa Kisiwani was once a massive Swahili port town. It was first established in the 8th Century and flourished between the 12th and 14th Centuries. At its prime, it was one of the largest coastal settlements in East Africa and was an important center within the Indian Ocean trade network. The site was inscribed into the World Heritage List (with Songo Mnara) in 1981 as an exceptional testimony to the expansion of the Swahili coastal culture, the spread of Islam in East Africa and the extraordinarily extensive and prosperous Indian Ocean trade from the medieval period up to the modern era. Currently a part of this building serves as a community museum.
