A Preliminary Conservation and Development Scheme for Old Massawa (Eritrea's Oldest Living town) by Ann Pulver and Arnaud Goujon, UNESCO 1998
According to the document, the town is situated on two coral islands, Massawa and Taulud. A detailed map of the town in 1885 records 5000 inhabitants, 216 masonry houses, 233 huts, 3 main mosques with minarates, 10 secondary mosques, and 22 Arab and European Cafes. In 1888 part of the town was destroyed by fire and on 14 August 1921 most of the town was destroyed by an earthquake.
