Gomene

Gomene stands on a small promontory on the northern Mozambique coast, protected by a fringing coral reef. The remains of a perimeter wall and coral-stone buildings mark an old coastal settlement. Its position between the Rovuma and Mozambique Island placed it in the southern reaches of the Swahili maritime world, where coastal communities exchanged goods with both the interior and vessels crossing the Indian Ocean.

The later city of Pemba lies here.
