Things to do in Zanzibar Archipelago, Zanzibar Archipelago: The Best Historic Sites

October 14, 2021 Margarita Chappel

A group of islands and islets some 25 miles off the Tanzanian coast, the Zanzibar Archipelago is headlined by Unguja (often referred to simply as Zanzibar) and Pemba. Once a separate nation, Zanzibar has a long history of trade with the Arab world, dating back to at least the 11th century. The capital, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has many interesting historic attractions. Zanzibar's bright white beaches and nearby coral reefs make it very popular with the sun and sea set.

Fukuchani Ruins

Fukuchani ruins are on the edge of the village of the same name, in Zanzibar. Beside a large school on the western side of the road, there's a small signpost under a baobab tree which will point you in the right direction, along a track that bisects the local football pitch. The ruin is known locally as the 'Portuguese House'

Christ Church Cathedral

Reviewed By logarmihec - Cape Town, South Africa

Christ Church Cathedral was a part of our half day tour of Stone City. It's very important to recognise and maintain the history and this Anglican Cathedral is a great example of the dark past of the Zanzibar. This Cathedral is a part of Zanzibar's history and culture as well and that's why it is a must do things to visit in Zanzibar. Next to to the Cathedral is a monument to the slaves. It's also a great example of a slave market.
