KAOLE
About five kilometres to the south of Bagamayo, at Kaole, are the ruins of a once prosperous Arab town, which was forced into decline by the arrival of the Portuguese in the 15th century. The ruins, dating back to the 12th century
include two mosques, one with a well and over 20 tombs. All the buildings, including a house, were built in carved
coral stone blocks. The new part of Kaole is a fishing and
farming village.
