Throughout the Matopos National Park, massive balancing rock formations can be seen dotting the hills. These rock formations occur naturally, and in many ways symbolize the nation. They are pictured here on the seal of the Reserve Bank of Rhodesia, and reappear again as major design elements on the currency and seal of the modern Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.

Covering almost 1,800 acres, Great Zimbabwe was built between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and may have housed as many as 40,000 people at one time. It comprises the largest single ancient structure south of the Sahara, and stands as a focus for debate on how and by whom it was actually built. The most fascinating feature of the Ruins is the fact that they have endured for seven centuries, despite the dry-stone application where no mortar was used to bind the stone blocks. So spectacular are the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, the people of Rhodesia (previously named after the Briton Cecil Rhodes), renamed their country Zimbabwe in 1979.
