Other places include Art galleries, the ancient Pwani Mosque, the central Riyadh Mosque, and the Donkey Sanctuary – a facility that provides treatment for all donkeys in Lamu. Since there is no motorized transportation, the only means of transportation are the donkeys. There are about 2000 to 3000 working donkeys on the island. The Donkey Sanctuary provides the donkey with treatment free of charge. Lamu’s narrow streets remain unchanged, and in the markets and squares around the fort, life moves at the same pace as it always has. The port of Lamu has existed for at least a thousand years. Most buildings are constructed out of local materials including coral-rag blocks for the walls; wooden floors supported by mangrove poles, Makuti roofs, and intricately carved shutters for windows.
