Danamombe

Danamombe, also known historically as Dhlo-Dhlo or Ndlo Dlo, is an archaeological site in Zimbabwe that was a prominent center of the Rozvi culture. Situated about 80 kilometers from Gweru, the site is characterized by its ruined town layout, similar to that of Khami, albeit on a smaller scale. This site was likely occupied in the 17th or 18th century CE, following the abandonment of Khami, and served as a cultural hub for the Rozvi people, who succeeded the Torwa culture. The town's layout included wood-reinforced mud walls, remnants of which have since disappeared. Danamombe was destroyed in the 1830s by the Matabele. Despite its historical significance, the site is not frequently visited due to poor road conditions.
