FORT JESUS MUSEUM

Fort Jesus, a national monument is a testimony to the determination of the Portuguese to control the coast of Kenya and to the tenacity of Mombasa's inhabitants in retaining their identity and culture. Fort Jesus is very well maintained. The fort has barrack rooms where drawings of ships, churches, and figures in armor have been laid, revealing the longing of many Portuguese sailors. The fort even has foundations of a chapel, a storeroom. Fort Jesus was built in 1593.
