Jumba la Mtwana

Jumba la Mtwana is the site of historical structures and archaeological relics on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya, lying close to the Mtwapa Creek, in Kilifi county, north of Mombasa.

There are no written historical records about the city, but the Chinese ceramics found make it possible to trace the dating back to the fourteenth century.

[2] The city was located close to fresh water sources and was protected from attack from the ocean.

[3] The ruins of Jumba la Mtwana are described and repeatedly mentioned in Andrei Gusev's story "Consummation in Mombasa".

The final events in the story take place in Mtwapa (located next to the ruins), where the main characters go after their wedding in Mombasa and a trip through Kenya.
