Bthe Dhlodhlo ruins, which stand on a granite hill in Insiza district
Cthe Naletale ruins, known for their decorated walling in the Midlands
Dthe Khami ruins, built on terraces outside the city of Bulawayo
Explanation: The solid conical tower standing inside a dry stone enclosure is the best known feature of Great Zimbabwe, near Masvingo, and the country takes its name from that site. Khami, Naletale and Dhlodhlo are dry stone sites of the same tradition, but none of them carries a tower of this kind.
