Old High Court, Stone Town, Zanzibar
Location: Stone Town, Zanzibar Island, Tanzania
Though the Zanzibar wooden door has been removed, I came to truly admire this Moorish style former High Court in Stone Town, Zanzibar. The overall weathering, paired with the aging of the structure has turned this building into a remarkable deserted structure.

Yah, I remember seeing some lovely Moorish building in KL. As a World Heritage site, I think Stone Town has some good preservation efforts.
You betcha I’ll be commenting on your Zanzibar pics! It’s still a dream for me to go to this part of Africa!

Thanks Jen! I really hope you get a chance to go to Tanzania and Zanzibar in the future, I know you would truly enjoy it!
It’s just so fortunate it’s still standing.A whiff of history even comes off your picture.
You’re right, tropical weather conditions are not ideal for preservation, but I sure love the effect it created on the walls!
That’s a really good photo; it seems to tell a whole story. Have Zanzibar near the top of my list. Even more tempting now.
Great Sophie! I’m glad that you have Zanzibar at the top of your list and hope you have a chance to visit soon!
That’s a beautiful building. I always love the older buildings where the paintwork and rendering is crumbling away. Probably not great for the building but they look better; more historic.

I fully agree, the aging and weathering looks so cool, despite deteriorating the overall structure.
