Chibvumani

Chibvumani is a stone-walled centre in the country between the Runde and Save rivers. Built of granite on a rocky hill, its enclosures belong to the wider Zimbabwe tradition that also produced the walls of Great Zimbabwe. Different rulers occupied the site in succession, leaving a place of authority among the surrounding communities. Other stone-built centres in the region included the Ruvizhe hills and Runyani, each part of the plateau's long history of settlement and political change.
