Stone Town, also known as Mji Mkongwe (‘old town’ in Swahili), is the old part of Zanzibar City in Tanzania. Many of the buildings date back to the 19th century and incorporate a unique mixture of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences. Tanzania was a British Protectorate from after World War 1 until the mid-1960s, so British architecture heavily influenced the city.
