The Old Fort (Ngome Kongwe)
15 minutes
At the Old Fort, or Ngome Kongwe, you will step into the oldest building in Stone Town, a formidable structure built in the 17th century by the Omani Arabs to defend against Portuguese invasion. This historic fort, with its thick stone walls and crenelated battlements, now serves as a vibrant cultural center. You’ll have the chance to explore its courtyard, where local artisans display their crafts, and learn about the fort's storied past, from its days as a military stronghold to its role as a prison and later as a venue for community events. The Old Fort offers a unique glimpse into Zanzibar's history and is a perfect place to soak in the local atmosphere, watch a live performance, or simply relax in the charming surroundings.
