Slave Market

Slave Market

4.2/5 (316 reviews)
An Anglican cathedral now stands on this site where slaves once suffered before being sold into harsh servitude.
See properties
Stone Town is a great place to roam and see a side of Africa that is seldom seen. A place where cultures have mixed and co-exist. It is somewhat in decay and not very well kept, but it is extremely interesting to visit the sights and experience Stone Town while looking for souvenirs and just observing the Swahili culture and Zanzibar architecture. Amazing sunsets by the harbour! #GoldenHour #blue
