The place to be and be seen!
The Old Fort
The Old Fort, locally known as Ngome Kongwe, is located just opposite
the Forodhani Gardens and next to the
House of Wonders in the old quarters of
Zanzibar Town.
The building was erected by the Busaid group of Omani Arabs on the site of a Portuguese
church between 1698 and 1701 with the main purpose to defend themselves against the
Portuguese and a rival Omani group. Some remnants of the church can still be seen.
The massive fort is built in the form of a square and has thick, dark brown walls and
battlements on top. Over the years the fort was used as a prison and as a terminal for
the Zanzibar railways. After some renovations it now houses the Zanzibar Cultural Centre
with a stone-built amphitheatre in the inner courtyard, where traditional music and
dance shows take place. It also houses a tourist information office, various craft and
souvenir shops and a restaurant. It is possible to climb to the top of the battlements
and to visit some of the towers. There is no entrance fee, although donations are welcome.
