Well laid out ruins include mosque and palace

Malindi Coast

Gedi Ruins

The trading settlement of around 2500 people at Gedi thrived during the 14th and 15th centuries along the coast close to Malindi.

Mosque, palace and large stone houses are among the extensive ruins of the well laid out town. Drainage and flush toilets indicate advanced features for the time.

The town was likely abandoned to escape invading forces.

Excavations have revealed artifacts from around the world - beads from Venice, a Ming vase, an iron lamp from India.
