Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Mkunguni Square is Lamu's most common point for public gatherings, and is conveniently located at the centre of the Lamu Old Town conservation site. The place serves as a space for customary activities such as Maulidi festivals, political rallies as well as acts as a point of meeting for the elderly residents who would come to have casual conversations and / or play traditional board games in the afternoon.
Kiswahili: Uwanja wa Mkunguni ndio mahali pa kawaida pa Lamu kwa mikusanyiko ya watu wengi, na unapatikana kwa urahisi katikati mwa eneo la uhifadhi la Mji Mkongwe wa Lamu. Mahali hapo hutumika kama mahali pa shughuli za kimila kama vile sherehe za Maulidi, mikutano ya kisiasa na vile vile kama mahali pa kukutania wazee ambao wangekuja kufanya mazungumzo ya kawaida na / au kucheza michezo ya bodi ya jadi mchana.
