This 2022 photograph focuses on architectural detail in Stone Town, the historic quarter of Zanzibar City. Stone Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, recognized for its fusion of Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European architectural styles, and the old town grew as a major trading post on the Indian Ocean spice and ivory routes under the 19th-century Sultanate of Zanzibar.
