Lamu County preserves the architectural and cultural heritage of the Swahili coast. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Lamu Old Town, home to the 19th-century Lamu Fort and the Riyadha Mosque, a major center for Islamic scholarship. Beyond the town, the 15th-century Takwa ruins on Manda Island and the ancient settlement of Pate offer insights into the region's medieval trading history. The list also includes the local market for regional produce and the museum’s collection of Swahili artifacts and maritime history.
