Midlands Province, Provincial capital in Midlands, Zimbabwe.
Midlands Province has Gweru as its capital, the third-largest urban center in Zimbabwe, positioned on the highveld between Harare and Bulawayo. The city functions as a major transportation hub with extensive road and rail networks.
Gweru was founded in the early 1900s, and its City Hall displays Edwardian architectural elements from that era. The building continues to serve as the city council headquarters and reflects the period of the city's establishment.
The Gweru Museum displays artifacts from ancient Zimbabwe civilizations, allowing visitors to explore regional history through traditional tools and local craftsmanship techniques.
The city is easy to navigate, with main roads clearly marked and most attractions within reach. Bus services connect the city center to outlying areas, and taxis offer reliable transportation for visitors without their own vehicles.
The region contains a substantial portion of the Great Dyke, a geological formation that stretches over 280 kilometers and is rich in gold and minerals. This natural feature has shaped both the landscape and the region's economy for generations.
