Old Boma

The Old Boma of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is one of the city's oldest buildings. It is located at the crossing of Morogoro Road and Sokoine Drive, facing the river and adjacent to the City Hall. It was built in 1866-67 by Majid bin Said, sultan of Zanzibar, close to his palace (now demolished). He also commissioned other buildings in the same area, such as the White Fathers' House. Under German colonial rule it was restored and enlarged. Distinctive features of the building include the zanzibari-style carved wooden door and coral stone walls.
