桑给巴尔石头城 Stone Town

(重定向自Stonetown)

桑给巴尔石头城(Stone Town),斯瓦希里语又作Mji Mkongwe,是坦桑尼亚桑给巴尔的主要城市桑给巴尔市的老区之一。石头城与新城Ng'ambo相对应,意为“另一侧”,位于桑给巴尔群岛的主岛安古迦岛的西海岸。本城早前是桑给巴尔苏丹国的首都,历史上是香料贸易和19世纪的奴隶贸易中心,殖民统治时期它仍在桑给巴尔有重要的地位。

石头城在东非的历史和艺术方面具有较高的代表性,它的建筑,尤其是19世纪及其之前,主要受斯瓦希里文化的影响,此外像摩尔文化、阿拉伯文化、波斯文化、印度文化、欧洲文化等都或多或少产生了影响。2000年由联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录。

Stone Town, also known as Mji Mkongwe (Swahili for "old town"), is the old part of Zanzibar City, the main city of Zanzibar, in Tanzania. (The newer portion of the city is known as Ng'ambo, Swahili for 'the other side'). Stone Town is located on the western coast of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago. Former capital of the Zanzibar Sultanate, and flourishing centre of the spice trade as well as the slave trade in the 19th century, it retained its importance as the main city of Zanzibar during the period of the British protectorate. When Tanganyika and Zanzibar joined each other to form the United Republic of Tanzania, Zanzibar kept a semi-autonomous status, with Stone Town as its local government seat.
