Ruins of the ancient city of Great Zimbabwe. The former capital of the Monomatapa Empire is located in the southern Gokomere region. The name Zimbabwe means ‘big stone houses’ or ‘honored houses’ depending on the dialect. The city was then administered by the Shonas, a people from southern Africa. It had up to 18,000 inhabitants in its flowering phase from the 11th to the middle of the 15th century.
