Known locally as Mji Mkongwe ("Old Town"), Stone Town is the old part of Zanzibar City, the main city of Zanzibar. The first stone houses in Stone Town were probably built in the 1830s, gradually replacing an earlier fishing village and trading post established by the Portuguese in 1503. At the time, the Zanzibar Archipelago was controlled by the Sultanate of Oman, that in 1841 moved the Omani capital from Muscat to Zanzibar. With its labyrinth of narrow twisting streets, bustling bazaars and grand Arab and Indian mansions, the center in many ways resembles the medinas of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula -- a place where the time seems to go on its own slow pace.
