Ancient Village or Settlement in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe seems to be a bit out of interest of main tourist tracks these days, though this country has plenty to offer. Unspoilt south African nature, Victoria Falls and the most important to me...The Great Zimbabwe Ruins.
This ruined city is the exceptional stone monument of its size south of the Sahara. Built between the 11th and 15th centuries by ancestors of the Shona people is now UNESCO World Heritage Site. Two main structures of the place are fortified Acropolis on the hill and the well known Great Enclosure in the valley below.
