Christ Church is an Anglican cathedral located in Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania. Built between 1873 and 1879, it stands as a significant example of early Christian architecture in East Africa. Designed by Edward Steere, the cathedral features a unique barrel-vaulted concrete roof and blends Perpendicular Gothic and Islamic architectural elements. It is closely linked with Ely Cathedral in the UK. Visitors can explore its historical significance, but the site requires restoration due to structural decay. It is open to tourists, but it is advisable to check for visiting hours and possible admission fees prior to your visit.
