Portuguese Chapel
The Portuguese Chapel is a small building in the southern part of the town. It was built before St. Francis Xavier visited Malindi in 1542. It is where St. Francis buried one of the sailors who died on his ship. The Chapel's southeast wall had a crucifix painted by the Portuguese. Outside the Chapel was a graveyard of Portuguese tombstones, but today there are many modern graves, among them of Malindi pioneer Commander Lawford of Lawford Hotel and J. Bell Smith was the first British Administrator for Malindi.

Vasco da Gama Pillar
Vasco Da Gama built the Vasco Da Gama pillar in 1499 to welcome ships to the harbor. It is the oldest remaining European Monument in tropical Africa. It was initially located near the Sheikhs palace in town, but then Christian connotation caused discontent among Muslims and was soon taken down. Later under Portuguese insistence, it was set up in its present location in the 16th Century.
