The Stone Town of Zanzibar is a World Heritage Site under criteria ii, iii, and vi. The town is an outstanding material manifestation of cultural fusion and harmonization. The intense trading that unfolded in this town at its peak is illustrated beautifully by its architecture and urban structure. It is also a symbol of the suppression of slavery, as it was one of the main ports in East Africa where slaves were traded. It was also a base for campaigns of slavery's opponents such as David Livingstone.
