Overview
The Slave Market Memorial in Stone Town, Zanzibar stands on the site of the last open slave market in East Africa, closed by the British in 1873. A powerful memorial by sculptor Clara Sornas depicts five chained figures in a sunken pit, and the adjacent Anglican Cathedral was built on the site of the old whipping post. The underground holding chambers where enslaved people were kept before auction provide a sobering and essential historical encounter.
