St. Joseph's Cathedral, was built by French missionaries between 1893 and 1898. The plans were drawn by the same French architect who designed the cathedral in Marseilles, France.

The defining characteristic of the cathedral are its twin spires (similar to those of Marseille’s church) which are prominent elements of the Stone Town’s skyline and can be easily spotted from a distance off the coast.

The cathedral is used by the catholic community to date. The cathedral holds historical significance and there are many things to learn from the place.

Here are portraits of some sultans who ruled Zanzibar.

In 1861, Zanzibar was separated from Muscat and Oman and became an independent sultanate.

The longest-serving sultan of Zanzibar was Khalifa ibn Harub who assumed the throne on December 9, 1911 and served until his death on October 9, 1960.

In January 1964, the sultanate was overthrown by a revolt and a new republic was born.
