The bronze bell (kengele), which has been hanging between two coral pillars, a stone’s throw away from the Mombasa-Malindi road on Mombasa North mainland is the only evidence of the struggle against slave trade in Kenya.
After being spared from demolition during the construction of the Nyali bridge, the bell remains a monument conserved by the National Museum of Kenya (NMK) as a reminder of Kenya’s dark past.
