Muchuchu

Muchuchu is a stone-built complex on a rocky hill in the upper Save country. Retaining walls support a platform on the slope, giving the structure the appearance of a tower from some angles. It stands near Matendere, a larger group of enclosures whose decorated dry-stone walls belong to the Zimbabwe tradition. Together these buildings recall a landscape in which leaders and their households occupied distinctive stone-built places among the communities of the plateau.
