zanzibar history  COME AND SEE ZANZIBARS INCREDIBLE HISTORY WITH US.

Zanzibar's rich heritage is still evident today.

In Stone Town there is a fortress, two sultans' palaces, two cathedrals, colonial mansions, and a Persian style public bath-house.

 

Buildings have ornately carved doors with brass studs on them - the more impressive the door, the richer the original occupant.

Outside town, there are more ruined palaces, other Shirazi remains, the famous Persian baths, and caves where slaves were once imprisoned.
