VISITING VASCO DA GAMA PILLAR MALINDI
Vasco da Gama pillar, erected five centuries ago, is a testimony that any idea, sustained by determination, like a legend, lives on.
Kenyan Gov't offered assistance in preserving Vasco Da Gama pillar and Chapel
The Portuguese government, keen on preserving its people's history has offered the kenyan government assistance in the preservation of the vasco da Gama pillar and chapel which was built by its sailors 250 year ago in the coast region.
The historic icon is under threat due to strong ocean waves that have been pounding it since it was built.

FORT-JESUS
Fort Jesus (Forte Jesus de Mombaça) is a Portuguese fort built in 1591 by order of King Philip I of Portugal (King Philip II of Spain), then ruler of the joint Portuguese and Spanish Kingdoms, located on Mombasa Island to guard the Old Port of Mombasa, Kenya. It was built in the shape of a man (viewed from the air), and was given the name of Jesus. In 2011, the fort was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, highlighted as one of the most outstanding and well preserved examples of 16th-century Portuguese military fortifications.[1]

Overview[edit]
Between 1631 and 1875 the fort was won and lost nine times by the nations contesting control of Kenya. The Omanis took the fort in 1698 after a notable siege of almost three years. It was declared a historical monument in 1958. Today it houses a museum.
The fort was designed by a Milanese architect, Giovanni Battista Cairati, who was the Chief Architect for Portuguese possessions in the East. It was the first European-style fort constructed outside of Europe designed to resist cannon fire. Today, it is one of the finest examples of 16th-century Portuguese military architecture, which has been influenced and changed by both the Omani Arabs and the British. The fort quickly became a vital possession for anyone with the intention of controlling Mombasa Island or the surrounding areas of trade. When the British colonised Kenya, they used it as a prison, until 1958, when they converted it into a historical monument. James Kirkman was then assigned to excavate the monument, which he did (with a large use of external historical documents) from 1958 to 1971.
The architecture of the fort represents the rough outline of a person lying on their back, with the head towards the sea. The height of the walls is 18 meters. The original Portuguese fort had a height of 15 meters, but the much taller Oman Arabs added 3 metres upon capturing the fort.
The fort combines Portuguese, Arab, and British elements; these being the major powers that held it at different times in history. The Portuguese and British presence is preserved in the presence of their respective cannons. The Portuguese cannons had a range of 200 meters and are longer than the British cannons which had a range of 300 meters. Oman Arabs marked their occupancy with numerous Koran inscriptions into the wooden door posts and ceiling beams. The Muslim tradition of 5 pillars is also portrayed throughout the fort, with a former meeting hall supported by five stone pillars to the ceiling.
Some of the historical structures still standing in the fort include Oman House, which was the house for Sultan who governed the East African coast. Others are an open water cistern by the Portuguese for harvesting rain water, and a 76-foot deep well sunk by the Arabs, but whose water was too salty to be used for anything but washing.
The fort was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2011.
Fort Jesus today
Fort Jesus is now a popular destination for foreign and local tourists. As well as a tourist destination the Fort is important as a host for numerous research programs, a Conservation Lab, and Education Department and an Old Town Conservation Office.

????????'s & ????????'s OF MALINDI SN1 EP1
Mika invites a group of people she considers 'friends' to a mixer at her villa only to receive negative vibes and energy. They openly disrespect her and the guys were so stigmatized by the fact that she is a trans woman.
The boys meet up so as to bring MJ upto speed for the mixer he missed at Mika's villa. MJ seems to personally know Mika. Mufasa leaves the boys in between their gossip session so that he can go on a date.
Mufasa visits Felicia (one of the twins) at their home to romantically have a sit down.
The squad goes to watamu (a small coastal town just 15mins away from malindi) to visit John who owns a beach bar and restaurant. John who had invited everyone over from the mixer at Mika's villa, only to be overwhelmed at his work place because of drama caused by the squad.
Sh60m needed to rehabilitate Da Gama pillar
The Portuguese have started tracing their roots in Malindi, 520 years after Vasco Da Gama built a pillar and a chapel on his way to India. The five-century old historical structure may collapse due to strong ocean waves. See story
