The historic Christ Church Cathedral is located in Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania. The cathedral’s construction spanned seven years from 1873 to 1879, and it is situated where the largest slave market in Zanzibar once operated. Interestingly, the cathedral’s altar is positioned exactly where the market’s main “whipping post” used to be. Visitors will be intrigued by the cathedral’s architecture, which is a captivating blend of Perpendicular Gothic and Islamic details. The unique concrete roof, shaped in an unusual barrel vault, is a sight not to be missed. In the square outside the cathedral, there is a moving monument to the slaves, depicted as human figures in chains emerging from a pit. A museum dedicated to the history of slavery is also located here. Whether one is a history enthusiast or an admirer of beautiful architecture, the Christ Church Cathedral is a destination that should not be missed when visiting Zanzibar. It promises to be an enriching experience.
