Summary

Not everything worth protecting in Kenya was made by nature. People have also built things worth remembering, such as museums, monuments, cultural centres, and old buildings that tell the story of Kenya's past. These are called historic built environments.

In this topic, you will meet the four main types of historic built environment, and learn why, and how, we should look after them.
