Six Comoros Cities Inscribed as UNESCO Heritage
Six ancient cities in the Comoros have been inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List, with the aim of preserving them as part of humanity's cultural heritage. These cities reflect Swahili architecture and testify to their history dating back to the twelfth century, during which they were trading states along the Indian Ocean trade routes. The sites include defensive walls, palaces, mosques, public squares, a network of narrow alleys, and they maintain the lives of their residents, who continue to carry out daily activities such as trading, praying, and celebrating. This designation is an opportunity to ensure the protection of these sites, despite their fragility, and to open new prospects for their preservation and development. The cities are located on Grande Comore and Anjouan islands. This marks the first-ever inclusion of sites from the Comoros into UNESCO's World Heritage List.
