The image depicts the exterior of Fort Jesus in the Mji wa Kale (Old Town) area of Makadara ward, Mombasa, Kenya. The central subject is a weathered, light brown and grey stone fort wall featuring a prominent dark arched entrance. Above the arch, a rectangular recessed panel with a decorative pediment-like top carving is visible. The fort's roofline displays a castellated parapet. Two flagpoles rise from the roof: one flying the Kenyan national flag (partially visible on the right), and another flying a blue, yellow, black, and red striped flag (on the left). Approximately eight individuals are present. In the foreground on the right, a dark-skinned male in a blue and white plaid long-sleeved shirt and green cargo pants stands facing left, holding a small white object. In the mid-ground, slightly to the left of the center, another dark-skinned male in a white polo shirt, white pants, and a white baseball cap stands with his back mostly to the camera, observing the entrance. To the far left, a woman with long brown hair, wearing a green top and blue jeans, stands facing right. Several other individuals, including one in a red patterned shirt and others in dark clothing, are partially visible entering or exiting the dark arched passage. To the left of the arched entrance, a dark, cylindrical object, consistent with a cannon, rests horizontally on a low stone base. A low stone wall or parapet with rounded top sections runs along the right side of the foreground. An exposed brown cable or rope hangs down the right side of the fort wall. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight under a clear blue sky, casting distinct shadows on the ground and walls.
