A piece of formidable public art right in the heart of the city, Mombasa Tusks commemorate a 1956 visit by Princess Margaret. Made of aluminum, the tusks remain one of the city's major landmarks, though the locals often use the sculpture for posting personal advertising materials.

The tusks are sadly dilapidated and the peeling paint just added to the disappointment. This place was crowded, dirty and neglected. What was iconic ain’t anymore.
