Built on a promontory, Hanassa contains ruins of houses with archways and courtyards. It also features sites with pillar tombs, including a rare octagonal tomb. Additionally, excavations here have retrieved sherds of celadon and undecorated pottery. Amongst the ruins is a small mosque, with a well-preserved mihrab overlooking the Indian Ocean.[1]
