Ungwana

Ungwana, known in older records as Hoja, was a walled Swahili trading town near the Tana River mouth on the northern Kenyan coast.

Its coral-stone houses, mosques and imported Chinese and Islamic pottery reflected its place in Indian Ocean trade. A Portuguese fleet sacked Ungwana in 1505 during its campaign along the Swahili Coast. The town never fully recovered and was abandoned in the early 17th century.
