Overview
In 1873, the world’s last open slave market was shut down by the British, and the last vestige of this cruel institution could be found in Stone Town. For way too long, the city was home to the most brutal slave market in Zanzibar. Next to the memorial, you find a huge Anglican cathedral whose altar was built exactly where they used to whip the slaves.
Marvel at Stunning Zanzibari Doors
Something you will probably encounter very often on your tour through the city is a large number of impressive wooden doorways.
No wonder Stone Town is famous for its iconic doorways that blend the typical African style with Indian and Arabic designs. Of an estimated amount of 560 doors around Zanzibar City, the majority can be found in this part of the island’s capital.
Enjoy Freshly Roasted Coffee at Zanzibar Coffee House
If you are a coffee lover, Zanzibar Coffee House is a place you can’t miss by no means. You can find this coffee shop and boutique hotel in one in an authentic Arabic house right in the heart of Stone Town. Constructed in 1885, it is one of the oldest buildings in Zanzibar.
