Maputo Fortress, built by the Portuguese in the 18th century, began as a trading post in Catembe before moving to Maputo Bay. It faced repeated looting due to European rivalries over trade and control. Today, it serves as a military museum and hosts cultural events. #Mozambique #AfricanArchaeology
#GroundingHeritage takes us to Ethiopia’s mountains. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela and fortified sites like Fasil Ghebbi reflect how defence, faith, and landscape intertwine in resilient heritage systems. #DefenceSystems #AfricanArchaeology #Ethiopia

Le caractère stratégique de l’île de Gorée lui valut une vocation défensive. Les Néerlandais y construisirent deux forts, une batterie principale, des remparts modestes, une redoute, la « batterie de l’Ouest » et plusieurs petits bastions. #Africanheritage #Archaeology #AfricanArchaeology #Geography
