"Inside Fort Jesus:The Prison&Torture Chambers They Never Show You!” Welcome to Fort Jesus, a spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important historical landmarks in East Africa. This video explores the fortress's incredible past, from its construction to its enduring legacy. Built by the Portuguese between 1593 and 1596, Fort Jesus was strategically essential for protecting Portugal's valuable trade interests along the Indian Ocean route. Designed by Italian architect Giovanni Battista Cairati, its layout showcases advanced 16th-century Renaissance military architecture. The Struggle for Control: The fort's history is defined by conflict. It became the ultimate prize in the rivalry between European powers and the Omani Arabs. Due to numerous sieges and battles, the fort was captured and recaptured at least nine times between 1631 and 1875! This constant struggle highlights its immense strategic value. Today, Fort Jesus stands as a museum and a monument to the complex cultural mixing of the Swahili, Portuguese, Omani, and British influences that shaped the Kenyan coast. #mombasa #fortjesus#indianoceanbeach #portuguese #omansultan #oman #slavehistory #history
