National Historic Site of Tanzania
Location of Kilwa Kivinje in Tanzania
Kilwa Kivinje Historic Site (Swahili Mji wa Kale wa Kivinje) is protected historic site located on Kilwa Kivinje ward in Kilwa District in Lindi Region of Tanzania's Indian Ocean coast. The site is home to medieval Swahili ruins and some surviving Swahili buildings from the late 19th century.[2] The settlement is considered to be the refuge of the earlier inhabitants of Kilwa Kisiwani who had fled Vasco da Gama sacking of the city in 1505 and also absorbed more refugees fleeing the Madagascar pirates in 1822.[3]
