Stone Town is the cultural center and old town of the island and lies on the west side of Zanzibar Island. The name Stone Town comes from the many multi-story stone buildings that co-shape the old part of the city. Many of the buildings are over 150 years old and quite a few are also built of coral. The bad feature of this is that they crumble and therefore many buildings are in extremely poor condition. The 19th-century style is still visible in the city, when Zanzibar was a major trading center in the Indian Ocean. The city is enriched by large bazaars, markets, 2 cathedrals, over 50 mosques, etc. Zanzibar is a World Heritage Site. Stunning narrow streets, like a labyrinth connected, full of local galleries and shops, mighty buildings, dating back to the time of the Sultanate of Oman, give you a mystical aftertaste.
