The central area of Great Zimbabwe is dominated by a 240m high granite hill. At the time of Great Zimbabwe's occupation, the Hill Complex, sited on top of this granite hill, housed the residence of the mambo as well as his royal entourage and spirit mediums. The clusters of man-made stone walling and natural boulders forming walls for passages and enclosures on the Hill Complex can be loosely divided into two main areas, usually referred to as the Western Enclosure (once housing the Mambo's residence) and the Eastern Enclosure (once housing the Ritual Area, or 'national shrine').
