Burned Sultan’s Palace
Maruhubi Palace in Zanzibar was built between 1880 and 1882 on the orders of Sultan Barghash bin Said as a residence for several of his wives. It was surrounded by gardens and mango trees imported from India, and featured columns, spacious verandas, royal baths, and an advanced water system. A fire in 1899 destroyed most of the palace, though parts of its columns, walls, baths, and water basins remain, about four kilometres north of Stone Town. Its ruins bear witness to Omani architecture in nineteenth-century Zanzibar and to the blending of architectural and cultural influences on the island.
