Lots of history embedded here. This is one of the oldest cathedrals, although it's been rebuilt, I think, with pieces from various parts of the world. Marble from Italy, wood from Zambia, Engineer from England, etc. It's one of the 'must-see's in Stone Town.

Good place to sit and absorb slave museum and to honor those who fought against this scourge. So don’t forget to visit the poorly kept graveyard behind the church

Beautiful church with interesting history such as the cross on the internal church left wall was made from a tree that grew up on a missionary's heart. Also, the 12 pillars at the entrance were fix upside down by mistake...must see when in zanzibar

This is one of the houses of worship that makes us remember to pray and any of these places gives us real faith when we meet for prayer, even though prayer is everywhere.

(Translated by Google) The ancient building, which has crossed the history for about 140 years, has a thick and solemn appearance and a simple interior. (Original) 穿越历史长河约140年的古建筑，外观厚重庄重，内部简约。

(Translated by Google) The initiator of the construction of the cathedral was Bishop Edward Steere fighting for the abolition of slavery. His grave is in the cathedral behind the altar. The Anglican Cathedral was built on the site of a former slave market. A white stone symbolizing the tree under which slaves were scourged is mounted in the floor near the altar. There is a wooden cross made of wood from the tree under which the traveler and missionary David Livingston, who was fighting to abolish slavery, died in Zambia. (Original) Inicjatorem budowy katedry był Biskup Edward Steere walczący o zniesienie niewolnictwa. Jego grób znajduje się w katedrze za ołtarzem. Anglikańska Katedra zbudowana została na miejscu dawnego targu niewolników. W jej posadzce koło ołtarza zamontowany jest biały kamień symbolizujący drzewo pod którym biczowano niewolników. Znajduje się tutaj drewniany krzyż zrobiony z drewna z drzewa pod którym w Zambi zmarł podróżnik i misjonarz David Livingston walczący o zniesienie niewolnictwa.

Filed with rich history, the Anglican church shares journey of slave trade in Africa mostly eastern part from how it started to its abolishon. You will feel pity for our beloved brothers and sisters who were enslaved during the 18-19C sold overseas to work as peasants and house maids.

Very interesting place to visit once you hear all the history behind the Cathedral and Zanzibar itself. $5 per person entrance fee and tour guides although not needed but nice to have will ask for a tip.

Outside the cathedral in the grounds, there is the moving Slave Memorial, which stands as a reminder of the past. We also visited the East Africa Slave Trade Exhibit, which features a series of detailed informative panels to commemorate the abolition of slavery and preserve the legacy of the individuals who were brought there and sold. At the end of the exhibit, there are the former slave chambers where they were imprisoned in terrible conditions before being sold.

Historical church in Zanzibar Stone Town. The church of two top minarets and big intrance door whic allows to sea inside of fance even you don't enter. The church is located in narrow paths in Stone Town of Zanzibar

Its offers good religious services

Gorgeous building with so many interesting bits of information about the bishop and David Livingston. Coloumns in the church are famously upside down and the ceiling is rarely shaped like a barrel. The baptizing pillar is placed where an aqueduct was said to run and the bodies of slaves were reportedly dumped and sent out to sea. This church allows you past the kneeling podium which is rare and the bishops tomb is located above. The stained glass windows are even dedicated to dr Livingston in part and the Organ is functional and original

It's a historical site in Mkunazini Stone town Zanzibar. Many foreigners like to visit this place for the rich history it contains. Although some of the historical facts about slavery here are controversial, many people visit the place for its historical significance.

The Anglican Cathedral, built in 1873 by the British on the site of the old slave market.

(Translated by Google) It is said that the cathedral was built on the occasion of the celebration of the abolition of slavery, since its construction began in 1873 which is when precisely the oppression was invalidated (although some practices continued for some years). In 7 years they had it ready. (Original) Se dice que la catedral fue construida en motivo de celebración de la abolición de la esclavitud, pues su construcción se inició en 1873 que es cuando precisamente la opresión se invalidó (aunque algunas prácticas siguieron durante algunos años). En 7 años la tuvieron lista.

historical church

mix of religion and mix of history you never know wich one to believe in generaly,

(Translated by Google) The cathedral had nothing special but the slave museum is something that everyone should visit. (Original) La catedral no tenía nada especial pero el museo de los esclavos es algo que todo el mundo debería visitar.

A historic place to must visit when coming to Zanzibar

(Translated by Google) Very nice visit, it takes 30 minutes for $ 5 per person (guide included). It's interesting about the history of Zanzibar (Original) Très belle visite, il faut compter 30 minutes pour 5$ par personnes (guide inclus). C’est intéressant sur l’histoire de Zanzibar

(Translated by Google) Museum on slavery and the slave trade on the East African coast and the role of Zanzibar. A must for every sansibar visitor. (Original) Museum über die Sklaverei und den Sklavenhandel an der afrikanischen Ostküste und die Rolle von Sansibar. Ein Muss für jeden Sansibarbesucher.

The center of stone town. I wish I had a guide to explain things to me and I could only stay for about 15 minutes. It is a bit confusing to get to, as you have to go though the other slavery exhibit. Statues outside are very powerful.

Historical monument of Zanzibar

Very rich in religious historical background

The history here was rich. A large cathedral built by the English who sold slaves literally at the pulpit and then abolished slavery. Dungeons for slaves located just downstairs. Incredible feeling here.

It's main site of Zanzibar historical sites(Stone Town)because of the history of East Africa Slave trade as main market ,As main site there 3 main areas to see 1- about church inside, 2- Slaves monument & Slaves chamber

Beautiful church and a great history to learn from the guides. Don't miss it if you're in town.

Great history for Zanzibar and East Africa at large

Beautiful cathedral built with coral stones. Location is symbolic in the old slave market area. Next to its museum

Good

Nice source of information when you wish to understand how slavery and slave trade went about. From all over East and Central Africa and certainly southern Africa.. all slaves were gathered here before they could be sold..

A great place with a very sad story. Everyone should visit him.

This is an important yet saddening place to visit. You cannot imagine what those people went through – if they survived.

It was built as means to abolish the Slave Trade in East Africa

Well worth visiting to learn about the history of slavery. Do the slavery tout first. Such an important part of Zanzibar's history. Tours are by tipping only.

(Translated by Google) The place is probably the most energetic in the city, a monument to slaves here on the territory, plus a beautiful English cathedral, very interesting architecture, an arched door to the cathedral, a special atmosphere inside, like in all cathedrals of this kind. The entrance is paid, I don't remember exactly how long, but it is definitely worth going in and taking a walk here for 30 minutes. (Original) Место наверно самое энергетическое в городе, памятник рабам тут на территории, плюс красивый английский кафедральный собор, очень интересной архитектуры, арочная дверь в собор, внутри особая атмосфера, ну как во всех соборах такого плана. Вход платный, точно не помню сколько, но зайти и погулять тут минут 30 точно стоит.

(Translated by Google) We were not allowed there. It turns out that the entrance to the cathedral is paid $ 5 per person. To the cathedral !!!! (Original) Нас туда не пустили. Оказывается, вход в собор платный 5 долларов с человека. В собор!!!!

(Translated by Google) Church museum that tells the tragedy of slavery. Very touching the details from the altar of this Anglican cathedral which also served as a pillory to exhibit the slaves in chains, you can still see the hole in the pole where they were chained awaiting other destinations. Outside is a sculpture depicting people in chains. (Original) Chiesa museo che racconta la tragedia dello schiavismo. Molto toccanti i particolare dall'altare di questa cattedrale anglicana che serviva anche da gogna per esibire gli schiavi in catene, si può ancora notare il foro del palo dove venivano incatenati in attesa di altre destinazioni. All'esterno si trova una scultura che raffigura persone in catene.

Its always great coming back here...

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful. Remarkable museum and temple. You are sincerely saddened by the conditions in which the slaves of Africa lived. (Original) Πολυ ομορφο. Αξιολογο μουσειο και ναος. Ειλικρινα σε πιανει θλιψη για τις συνθηκες στις οποιες ζουσαν οι σκλαβοι της αφρικης.

Is amazing place for real history of colonialism, especially history of Dr. Livingston

The church is in the center of historical, stonetown in Zanzibar.

(Translated by Google) Very great church was worth it with markt and inside city just around the corner (Original) Sehr tolle Kirche hat sich gelohnt mit markt und innen Stadt gleich um die Ecke

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, special place, blowing the spirit of those ancient slave times. (Original) Очень красиво,особое место,веет духом тех давних рабовладельческих времен.

memory place

Great place to visit to learn about slavery history of Zanzibar.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and touching story (Original) Bellissima e toccante la storia

(Translated by Google) Interesting worth visiting (Original) Ciekawe warte zwiedzenia

(Translated by Google) Beautiful historic cathedral (Original) Belle cathédrale historique

Spent 2019 Christmas Eve at the Anglican Cathedral... Felt welcomed and joyous

A beautiful cathedral built on the ancient slave prison of the bygone era. The museum gives enough information on the slavery and reminds us how lucky we are for not being born in that generation of sorrow and misery. This started from narrow minded British thinking that racially they are superior than others with out knowing anything about grand civilisation of Egyptians that vanished due to harsh environments. It's also a reminder to humanity that when Egypt was far ahead in civilisation,rest of the planet was in the dark ages of hunter gathering across Europe and Asia.Though British started slavery with guns, they ended peacefully.

(Translated by Google) The cathedral is located in the center of Zanzibar Stone Town. It is in the same place as the old slave market. It's a lot of thought. How were the churches built? It's ironic. In any case, tourist attractions are now affecting the lives of descendants. The last picture is the place where English worship and Koreans worship. If you have to go through the slave market and ask to pay money, you can go. Korean worship begins at 10:30. (Original) 잔지바르 스톤타운 중심에 있는 성당이다. 옛날 노예시장과 같은 장소에 있다. 많은 생각이 드는 장소이다. 성당은 누가 어떻게 번돈으로 지었을까? 참 아이러니하다. 어떻든 지금은 관광명소로 후손들의 삶에 영향을 미치고 있다. 마지막 사진이 영어예배와 한인들이 예배를 드리는 장소다. 노예시장을 지나야돼서 돈을내라고 할때 예배드리러 간다고 하면 그냥갈 수 있다. 한인 예배는 10시30분에 시작된다.

Is historic place for slave trade

Very historical n still in use. must visit.

Great sightseeing
