Title in English - Blue Mosque. Photo & DescriptionAfter the 1964 revolution, the new government of Zanzibar decided to build a new luxury hotel in the city. It was considered gorgeous if only because it had two swimming pools for guests. The people of Stone Town didn't like it, of course. The fact is that at that time there was not a single pool in the entire city. And in order to meet the needs of the masses, in the mid-70s the government decided to build a so-called "people's pool". To this end, it was decided to destroy the Blue Mosque near the new hotel in order to use this place as a pit for a pool, but the pool on the site of the mosque was not successful. He ... was constantly leaking. No amount of renovation work could save the day. After 20 years, the Zanzibari surrendered. And in 1995 a new one appeared in place of the "unsuccessful" pool, We also recommend reading Baths of Roffe description and photo - Crimea: Yalta Topic: Blue Mosque description and photos - Tanzania: Zanzibar. |
