The capital city comes alive through its bustling gateways and the English residency standing proudly against the horizon. Mombasa Harbour emerges as a focal point in this collection, showcasing its significance as a coastal hub for trade and maritime activities during that era. A Protestant church stands tall along the coastline, symbolizing the influence of religion within these communities.
