Recorre las murallas del Fuerte de Jesús
Built by the Portuguese in the 1590s to guard the old harbor, Fuerte de Jesús changed hands repeatedly between Portuguese and Omani rulers — every siege left a mark on its coral walls. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a defining landmark of Mombasa.
Inside, the museum walks you through the coast's trading centuries, and the ramparts look out over the old harbor where dhows still moor. It pairs naturally with Old Town, which begins at its gate.
