Construction on the monument began in the 11th century and continued until the 15th century. The stone city spans an area of 722 hectares which, at its peak, could have housed up to 18,000 people.
Great Zimbabwe has since been adopted as a national monument by the Zimbabwean govt, and the modern-day state is named for it.
