Great Zimbabwe is an ancient city located in present-day Zimbabwe. It was built between the 11th and 15th centuries and served as a powerful center for trade and culture in southeastern Africa. The impressive stone structures, including the famous Great Enclosure and the Hill Complex, showcase the advanced engineering skills of the people who lived there. The city was a hub for trading gold, ivory, and other goods, connecting various regions of Africa and beyond. Great Zimbabwe's decline in the 15th century is still a subject of study, but its legacy remains a symbol of African heritage and ingenuity.
