Brava, a coastal city in the Lower Shabelle region of southern Somalia, bordering the Indian Ocean, is known as "La White City" (White City), named after the white limestone used in its historical buildings. As one of the oldest ports in East Africa, it was once an important hub for Somali trade with Arabia and Persia, and has retained its distinctive Swahili architecture, blending Somali, Arab and Portuguese cultures. The city's narrow lanes and ancient mosques tell of a prosperous history dating back to the 14th century, and although tourism has been on the wane in recent years due to the regional situation, its rich cultural heritage and warm Indian Ocean coastline continue to attract explorers. This small seaside town with its diverse civilizations is a vivid microcosm of Somalia's history and flavour.
