Zvipadze

Zvipadze is a stone-walled settlement in the eastern Zimbabwean highlands. Its carefully laid enclosure belongs to the Zimbabwe building tradition, while the neighbouring site of Chitekete displays a different style associated with Nyanga. Stone walls and ditches surround the rocky ground, and the remains of clay floors and pottery speak of the people who lived within them. Together the sites show the meeting of architectural traditions in the country east of the plateau's great royal centres.

The later city of Marondera lies here.
