Stone Town, Spice Market, History and Architecture

Zanzibar stone town is the last and only surviving coastal East African town that emerged in the last quarter of the 19th Century.
This was the biggest trade center in East Africa that drew the attention of almost everyone in the world. Therefore, it was then raised as a cosmopolitan city in East Africa.
