Historical Insights

The Old Slave Market & Cathedral

Zanzibar Old Stone Town was the Slave Center Market in Africa until June 6, 1873, when the trade was abolished. You will see the dingy Slave Chambers where they were kept before auction. Today, the Anglican Cathedral Church of Christ stands on this site, with its high altar located exactly where the "Weeping Post" used to be.
