Who built the lighthouse of barawa?

[Hamzza]

I'm hearing the portuguese built chilani lighthouse of baraawe is that true?

 

[KillStreakIsCool]

Most likely the Ajuran Empire built the light house. Mogadishu and Barawa were both main cities of the Empire and their sea trade went as far as China. They were the first African Kingdom to send an ambassador to China. They also defeated the Portuguese Invaders.

The Mogadishu lighthouse was built on a pre existing one. I'll look for the source.
Anyway Italian destroyed a lot of stuff in xamar. Did you know Mogadishu was a walled city? The Italians destroyed the wall

First you say Portuguese. Then you say Italians. If Italians did we would know it for sure. Here is my source to deny your claims. This book Esplorazione Commerciale (Commercial exploration) is an Italian book that reports facts on many areas of Africa from 1891. This the quote
Sull'isolotto Barette esistono le vestigia di un faro, di ignota fondazione, you can easily translate it on Google. " On the island of Barette there are the remains of a lighthouse of UNKNOWN foundation."
It wasn't Italian, the Italians found the lighthouse when they came in Barawe and had no idea who built it. They never suggested that it was the Portuguese, the source suggests it may be an indication of Barawe being an Arab commercial colony but since early Italian sources often conflate Arabs and Somalis it's likely that the lighthouse was built by natives of Barawe
CASE CLOSED.

We have pre-colonial photos of mogadishu, i'm sure there was no lighthouse in mogadishu only the minarets of some old masjids.
Yes i know that they destroyed the wall to make space for the expansion of the city.
