Stock photos of The Anglican Cathedral in Old Stonetown, Zanzibar. The cathedral stands on grounds of the former slave market closed down in 1873. It has the shape of a Basilica with a blend of vernacular Gothic and Arabic styles. Its construction was supervised by Bishop Edward Steere (1874-1882). The external walls are covered by crenellations and recesses ending in tri-foil arches. The clock on the tower was a gift from Sultan Seyyid Barghash (1880).
