Foreword

COME AND ShARE ThE BEAUTyoFourwonderFullAnd

Welcome to the second edition of Destination Mozambique, a truly comprehensive tourism

guide to our beautiful and remarkable country.

Mozambique is one of the world’s most intriguing and

delightful destinations, a colourful fusion of languages,

cultures, vistas and landscapes, all influenced for hundreds of

years in one way or another by the Portuguese.

As a nation we have been through some tough times, but in

a comparatively short period Mozambique has been dramati-

cally transformed in almost every way. And over the last 10

years or so Mozambique has performed as one of the world’s

fastest-growing economies. Our tourism sector has

experienced similar development.

yet fast development does not mean we do not care for our

environment. That’s why we have placed strict controls over

hotel construction at the coast

and over the building of lodges and camps in our truly

amazing wildlife reserves.

So, restored and revitalised, Mozambique has chosen to

remain exclusive as a destination and not just to chase visitor

numbers.

CoAstlIneWe have an almost endless coastline stretching for 2,600

km, so it’s only natural that our beaches and islands are

unspoilt – and we plan to keep them this way.

I believe our hotels and the services we provide are among

the best in the world, while our mouth-watering cuisine –

especially our abundant seafood – brings visitors back time

after time.

In fact, Mozambique is truly amazing. I hope you will come

and find out just how amazing it is.

IntroduCtIon

IDyLLIC BEAChES, SUPERB WILDLIFE... mozAmbIquehAsItAll

Few destinations compare with Mozambique – home to a vibrant and forward-thinking nation

that is newly emergent from a difficult recent past and ready to extend the broadest of smiles to visi-tors. A warm welcome lies in store for those keen to discover a remarkable combination of deserted beaches, Robinson Crusoe islands, big game and cities where the fun never seems to stop.

Mozambique boasts one of the world’s last truly untouched

tropical coastlines – all 2,600 km of it. This wild and exten-

sive shoreline is dotted with coral reefs and magical islands.

here, visitors will find sleepy lagoons and soft-sand white

beaches where footprints are still an oddity, all set against

an Indian Ocean backdrop where an occasional fisherman is

the only life form.

4

Moreover, the influence of Portugal, the former colonial power,

has left an intriguing legacy in its language, extraordinary

cuisine and, of course, architecture. As the only lusiphone

(Portuguese-speaking) country in southern Africa, Mozambique

offers something different from its immediate neighbours.

herItAgeA centuries-old heritage can be found in historical and

unspoilt locations such as the Island of Mozambique (a

Unesco World heritage site), once the capital of Portuguese

East Africa, where some of the stone buildings date from the

early 1600s. The Portuguese influence is at its strongest in the

major cities of Maputo, Beira, Nampula and Nacala; but in the

past 20 years a post-colonial, made-in-Mozambique vibrancy

has taken hold. This is best illustrated by the charming resto-

ration of many fine old buildings and also in the completion

of many smart new hotels for

both leisure and business, the

building of better roads and

the construction of gleaming

new airport terminals.

ling six-island Bazaruto

Archipelago and the national marine

park. For many, this is Mozambique’s

jewel in the crown location, with

untouched islands and an easy-

going atmosphere.

pArAdIseBut Bazarato’s iconic paradise status

is more than matched, however,

by the 32 islands to the north that

make up the Quirimbas Archi-

pelago and its own national marine

park. Touched by Arab influences

of the kind that can also be seen

in Zanzibar and elsewhere along

the East African coast, Quirimbas

is an ultra-low-impact destination

and the location for several eco-

friendly properties.

Modernity has not dented the love of life

for which Mozambicans are rightly famed. Soaking up the

atmosphere, both day and night, Mozambique’s pulsating Art

Deco capital, Maputo, is a special attraction. Come and enjoy

some of Africa’s finest cooking, with seafood so delicious that

many South Africans drive hundreds of kilometres across the

border each weekend just

to sample the delicious ‘LM

prawn’. There is no better

place to try a plate of these

than the city’s legendary

Costa do Sol restaurant –

perhaps accompanied by

an ice-cold glass of 2M or

Laurentina Clara beer.

Elsewhere, two destina-

tions dominate. With

its good international

connections, Vilankulo

is the preferred gateway

to the truly compel-

Page 9: Destination Mozambique 2013

Beyond the Bazarato and

Quirimbas archipelagos, the mainland has its fair share of

exotic locations including still more of those powder-white

beaches. There are plenty from which to choose. Praia da

Macaneta can be reached by boat from Maputo. Then there is

Ponta do Ouro, which involves a trip in a 4x4 vehicle and has

some really nice properties. Close by are Ponta Malongane,

sheltered Xai-Xai and the 27 km long Bilene Lagoon. The list is

almost endless and every one of Mozambique’s coastal prov-

inces can claim its own special slice of oceanside paradise.

restoredAway from the coast, Mozambique can rival any destina-

tion for the quality of its game. Once-abandoned national

parks and reserves have been and are being restored to their

former pre-civil war glory. Gorongosa is easily Mozambique’s

best-known national park – so spectacular and dramatic that

it attracts wildlife film-makers from across the world. It was

once southern Africa’s greatest game park and today is busy

reclaiming that hard-won accolade.

7

Others are also gaining a reputation for their

growing numbers of game – with some of the animals

being translocated from elsewhere in the region to restock

depleted parks – and Mozambique has formed close ties

with its neighbours in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Swazi-

land to create a series of truly immense

Transfrontier Parks and Transfrontier

Conservation Areas that allow animals

to migrate over huge areas as they did

long before official borders existed.

More still needs to be done in some

areas, but the country is once again

able to offer spectacular wildlife

viewing. When this is coupled with

the allure of nearby beach attractions,

Mozambique really does offer bush

and beach as a seamless destination.

Surely, it’s impossible to resist.

WONDERFUL ART IS WELCOME LEGACy oFturbulenttImes

Mozambique’s turbulent history has given rise to an inspiring range of visual art that began

long before independence in 1975 and is still going strong.

The culture of Mozambique has been enriched by many

experiences, from its early beginnings as a port of call for

Chinese and Persian traders, through the days of the Portu-

guese and the struggle for independence to the civil war that

finally ended in 1992.

Much of this story is manifested in the contemporary

paintings, drawings, sculptures and other works contained

in Maputo’s National Museum of Art. Among the artists

represented are Bertina Lopes, Chichorro, Chissano, Estevão

Mucavele, Celestino Tomás, Macamo, Malangatana Ngwenya,

Naguib, Samate and Victor Sousa.

The museum includes a workshop where

visitors can watch Mozambican artists at

work.

ChArIsmAtICMozambique’s best-known visual artist

was the charismatic Malangatana

Ngwenya, who died in January 2011

aged 74.

The artist, who often exhibited work

under his first name alone, received

various honours during his lifetime. he

was awarded the Nachingwea Medal

for his contribution to Mozambican

culture and in 1997 he was named

Unesco Artist for Peace and received

a Prince Claus Award.

9

his works have always projected a bold vision of life, depicting

a communion between human, animal and plant life.

Malangatana spent his early life attending mission schools

and helping his mother on the farm. At 12 he found work in

Lourenço Marques (now Maputo) as a ball boy at a tennis

club, went to night classes and developed an interest in art.

A member of the tennis club gave him materials and helped

him to sell his art.

Malangatana staged his first solo exhibition at the age of 25.

The artist was very much involved in politics. As a member

of Frelimo, he was detained by the Portuguese secret police

in 1964 and spent 18 months in jail. After independence, he

openly rejoined Frelimo, which now ruled Mozambique, and

helped with political campaigns.

INTERESTING FACT:

CapulanafabricisatraditionalclothwornbywomeninbothMozambiqueandAngola.

Page 13: Destination Mozambique 2013

From 1981 he worked full-time

as an artist. he has exhibited in half a dozen countries and his

work is in collections around the world. his public commis-

sions include murals for Frelimo and Unesco.

Malangatana helped establish various cultural institutions

including the National Museum of Art.

pIoneerIngThe sculptor Alberto Mabungulane Chissano is considered

one of Mozambique’s most important and influential artists,

along with the painter Malangatana.

Chissano, who died in February 1994, was best known for

his work using indigenous woods and his sculptures in rock,

stone and iron. his works say much about the nature of

Mozambicans – both their struggles and suffering, and also

their joy and pride.

11

he was a pioneer for a genera-

tion of sculptors in the 1970s, a decade that spanned the last

years of the colonial period and the beginning of Mozam-

bican independence.

Chissano was awarded the Nachingwea Medal in 1982 in

recognition of his ‘extraordinary merit’.

he turned his family home in Matola into a museum and

gallery, Museu Galeria Chissano. here, visitors can see many

of Chissano’s own sculptures as well as paintings by Malanga-

tana and other artists.

revolutIonAryThe artists of the colonial period shared a powerful sense of

history which they expressed in their art. Symbols of colonial

domination and the superior, even mystical, power attributed

to Europeans can be found in their works.

A national culture of resistance sprang up among

artists in what is now Maputo in the 1950s. The

dominant figure in this group was Malangatana. his

paintings, and the sculptures of Alberto Chissano,

became powerful symbols of resistance to the

intelligentsia during the last years of colonial rule.

After independence, the government encouraged

revolutionary art.

VARIETy IS SPICE OF LIFEFornAtIon'smusIClovers

Music and dance have always been a promi-nent aspect of Mozambican life, serving as

a natural and spontaneous way of expression. Reflecting the rich diversity of Mozambican culture, music and dance serve many purposes, acting as a kind of communion between the people and all they believe in.

The country has many manifestations of music and dance, all

taking place at different times, with different meanings. They

include Tufo, a manifestation of praise from the northern

regions of the country; and Mapiko, related to male initiation

rites and the celebration of manhood.

Various events have sprung up to celebrate this diversity and

culture lovers have ever more opportunities to indulge their

passion. One example is the annual AZGO Festival, which

embraces a range of multicultural events, bringing different

13

people together and giving them a taste of Mozambican

music and dance. The musical heritage has been well

preserved and pulses through the everyday life of the people.

The musical scene in Mozambique is a melting pot of styles,

reflecting the history of migration to the country, from the

early Arab traders and Zulu warriors to the Latin influences

of the colonial Portuguese and the Cuban doctors who

arrived after independence.

elementsThe traditional African elements of voice and percussion

are particularly strong in Mozambican music. An early musical

tradition can be found in the timbila orchestras of the Chopi

people, in the Zavala district of Inhambane province, which

are said to date back over 500 years and include complex

musical arrangements. The ability to play the timbila, a

traditional wooden xylophone, has been passed down

from one generation to

the next. Orchestras may

include up to 30 timbilas

of varying size and pitch.

The importance of this

music was recognised in

2005 when it was declared

an Intangible Cultural

heritage of humanity.

One of the best places to

enjoy these powerful and

infectious rhythms is the

annual timbila festival,

held in August in Inham-

bane province. The venue

is an amphitheatre in the

centre of Quissico with a

spectacular backdrop of blue lagoons

framed by rolling green dune forests.

The rhythms of the coastal provinces

of Nampula and Cabo Delgado are

heavily influenced by the musical traditions of Arab traders

who passed through these areas. The music has a distinctive,

sometimes melancholic sound, with a strong emphasis on

the voice.

mArrAbentAThe Marrabenta style of music is celebrated annually in the

Marrabenta Festival, which is held in Maputo. The festival

consists of musical events in the capital, with the highlight

being an acoustic musical train trip to

Marracuene. The train picks up music fans along the way, free

of charge, taking them to the festival’s finale, a lively outdoor

concert that lasts until dawn.

The Marrabenta style merges traditional Mozambican

rhythms, Portuguese folk music and instruments such as the

15

bandolin, with influences from Western popular music that

came from radio.

Early Marrabenta artists such as Fany Mpfumo, Dilon Djindji

and Wazimbo helped establish the genre, which then evolved

over time and remains popular. Dilon Djinji, now in his early

eighties, is still going strong, while Wazimbo took part in the

acclaimed Festival Sauti za Busara Music Festival in Zanzibar

in February. While Marrabenta began to decline during the

civil war (1977 to 1992), it never completely disappeared, as is

demonstrated by the popularity of Marrabenta bands from

the 1980s such as Eyuphuro and Orchestra Marrabenta Star de

Moçambique. In its contemporary form, it is combined with

other pop genres. The Mozambican band Mabulu blends the

Marrabenta style with hip hop music.

ClAssICAlmusICFestIvAlAndoperAA strong tradition of dance is reflected in the regular dance

performances and in the Kinani Dance Biennale, which

will take place in November 2013.

Watch out for the Festival Nacional da Cultura, show-

casing the best of Mozambican culture, which will take

place in Inhambane province in 2014.

Thrilling encounTers wiThrare and unique SpecieS

When it comes to spectacular wildlife, there’s nowhere quite like Mozambique, home to

a vast range of bird and animal species, many of them unique and all of them worth seeing.

not only that, but a trip to Mozambique offers visitors a huge

choice of thrilling wildlife encounters and experiences, from

swimming with whale sharks to observing such colourful

exotic birds as the green-headed oriole.

The reason for this diversity lies in the variety of ecosystems,

from mangrove forests and wetlands to the gorongosa Massif

and the Mozambican side of the chimanimani Mountains.

dwellerSsome of Mozambique’s most spectacular creatures are the

ocean dwellers, with whales and dolphins topping the ‘must

see’ list for many visitors.

The Mozambican coast, with its abundance of coral reefs,

is home to a great variety of tropical fish and other marine

life, most notably the humpback whale and various types of

dolphin – spinner, humpback, striped and bottlenose.

17

The coast is also a breeding ground for five species

of turtle: loggerhead, leatherback, green, olive

ridley and hawksbill.

Another notable resident is the dugong or

sea cow, an endangered species found in the

Bazaruto and Quirimbas archipelagos.

abundantMozambique is a paradise for birdwatchers. There

are over 700 species, with many rare and endan-

gered birds such as the dappled mountain robin,

swynnerton’s robin, green-headed oriole, east coast akalat,

green tinkerbird, long-billed tailorbird, violet-backed sunbird,

double-collared sunbird, wattled crane, cape vulture and

olive-headed weaver.

The best opportunities for birdwatching

can be found in the Bazaruto Archipelago,

gorongosa national Park, Mount namuli,

the chimanimani Mountains of the chimani-

mani Transfrontier conservation Area and

the wetland areas of Banhine national Park.

FaScinating Mozambique is home to some fascinating

animals including the blue niassa wilde-

beest and Bohm’s zebra as well Johnston’s

impala and lichtenstein’s hartebeest. it also

contains 170 species of reptile and 40 species

of amphibian. An area of particular interest

is the Mozambican side of the chimanimani

Transfrontier conservation Area with 60

reptile species, including the endemic flat

rock lizard.

Food loverS' paradiSe

so MAny greAT flAvours to Savour

The sights and sounds of Mozambique are not the only reason to visit this diverse country. The

aroma of freshly cooked fish and the zingy flavour of peri-peri entice visitors to sample the cuisine of a country with a growing reputation for delicious food.

Mozambique has a rich history that has produced an array

of cultural influences – and these are very much on display

when it comes to creative cooking. Many visitors have heard

of the justly renowned lM prawn, huge in size and bursting

with succulent flavour, traditionally served with peri-peri

sauce for a truly Mozambican taste, while another classic dish

is spicy chicken cooked peri-peri style.

FuSionBut this is not all Mozambique has to offer lovers of good

food. search a little further and it is soon evident that trade

routes and colonialism have led to Portuguese, indian,

Middle eastern and African food combinations. This fusion

of influence is evident

throughout the nation’s

dishes and can be found

even in the european-

influenced café culture

on the streets of Maputo.

one of the most popular

dishes, for example, is

salada Pera de Abacate

(salad with avocado

and tomatoes), fresh and

light, made with huge seasonal avocados and served with a

delicious lemon dressing. other speciality dishes well worth a

try include:

Matapa – made from cassava leaf (a starchy root) and cooked

in a peanut sauce with prawns or crab meat.

23

Galinha Zambezia – chicken prepared

with traditional peri-peri chilli in a lime

sauce.

Caril – curry dishes including stews

and samosas.

Pãozinho (pronounced ‘pow-zing-

yo’) – Portuguese-style bread rolls,

freshly baked each morning.

As can be seen from the speciality

dishes, freshness and seasonality

of ingredients ensure variety and

full flavour. The Mozambican coast

provides a bounty of excellent fresh

seafood, from crayfish, lobster and

calamari to the catch of the day,

which is often the very popular

chambo, a part of the tilapia family.

celebratedThese fresh ingredients are celebrated at gastronomy fairs, a

‘must’ visit for any food lover, and in particular at the food fair

held on ilha de Moçambique. visitors can enjoy the beautiful

surroundings of the island, while the food fair offers small

portions at modest prices so that guests can sample the many

tastes of Mozambique, often including treats such as coconut

sweets, caril de orico (sea urchin stew) and caril de castanha

(cashew nut stew). Many dishes make liberal use of coconut milk

and the world famous piri-piri sauce as an accompaniment.

for a refreshing drink to go with these gastronomic

delights, 2M is a popular and widely available beer, while

rum and raspberry (usually referred to as r&r) has a fresh and

lively taste that is Mozambican to the core.

INTERESTING FACT:

Maputo is the home of the famed LM prawn, named when the city was known as Lourenço Marques, or LM, and renowned for their delicious flavour. LM prawns are usually served with a peri-peri marinade and grilled.

glorious gAMe-viewing in revitaliSed national parkS

Mozambique may be best known for its delightful beaches and its romantic islands,

but the country can easily match Africa’s top safari destinations in terms of wildlife viewing and in the sheer scale, variety and size of its national parks and reserves.

Mozambique has three large trans-frontier conservation areas

which are variously shared with neighbouring south Africa,

swaziland and Zimbabwe. it also has six national parks wholly

within its borders and eight wildlife reserves as well as several

marine parks, including the new coastal marine park in

Primeiras and segundas in northern Mozambique, the largest

of its kind in Africa.

The nation’s wildlife areas struggled through tough times

in the 1980s and 1990s. Many are almost fully rehabilitated,

while work is going ahead on others.

yellowfin tuna. fly-fishing for queenfish, ladyfish, bonefish,

pompano and kingfish is also unsurpassed. The best season is

from March to July.

The most popular locations are inhaca, nacala, Pemba,

Ponto do ouro, the Quirimbas islands and Xai-Xai, while the

Bazaruto Archipelago is regarded as one of the world’s top

destinations for black marlin.

Marlin weighing up to 450 kg are not uncommon, but sailfish

probably attract a greater number of anglers, with catches

of up to 58 kg. other target species such as wahoo can reach a

speed of 70 km per hour, while the smaller dorado often takes

to the air when hooked, putting up a hard-fought battle.

Most operators have a strict catch and release – or tag and

release – policy so that fish can live to fight another day.

MAPuTo hAs ToP sTATus AsconFerence deStination

The city may have come late to the party, but Maputo has now established itself as one of

southern Africa’s top venues for meetings, confer-ences and exhibitions – able to compete with and match more established and longer-standing desti-nations across the region.

There are various reasons for the growing attractiveness of

Maputo. They include an agreeable climate, a location only

an hour from Johannesburg, some truly international-class

hotels, superb seafood, a wide selection of pre- and

post-event tours and a destination that is just that little

bit different from what is available elsewhere in Africa.

in addition, and providing the centrepiece of Maputo’s

venue city status, is the impressive Joaquim chissano

international conference centre, with a plenary capacity

of up to 1,000 delegates and a full selection of the latest

electronic wizardry.

dynaMicMozambique’s fast-growing and dynamic regional

economy has generated a wealth of trade shows

to cover a range of business sectors. Moreover, the

economic success of Mozambique has led to a growing

number of local business events.

Maputo also plays host to an amazing variety of arts

and music festivals that draw performers and visitors

from across the continent. easily the biggest of these

is the umoja festival, held each october/november at

the Praça de independência, which regular attracts a

live audience of around 100,000.

By successfully hosting the 10th All-Africa games in

2011, Maputo showed its ability to organise at short

29

notice – after the original host city had to withdraw – a major

continent-wide sporting event comprising 20 sports and

disciplines.

on a smaller scale, cities such as Beira and nampula are also

carving a niche in the conference and meetings sector thanks

to rapidly improving air connections and a growing choice

of quality local accommodation and facilities provided by

recognised international-class hotel brands.INTERESTING FACT:

Mozambique was one of the world’s top 10 fastest-growing economies from 2000 to 2012.

A PerfecT Blend of islAnd geMs and Sleepy lagoonS

Mozambique’s dazzling and seemingly endless 2,600 km coastline is just waiting to be

discovered; a coastline of powder-white beaches, sleepy lagoons, exquisite islands and near-deserted archipelagos. It all adds up to a heavenly melange – one of Africa’s truly awesome destinations.

still largely undiscovered, Mozambique attracts the

discerning few rather than the many. This is a destination

where, save for a fisherman

iSlandS and beacheS

or two, the shores are uncrowded, the sand and shells

untouched and the turquoise water warm and inviting.

Populated here and there by small, stylish resorts seem-

ingly at one with their surroundings, the Mozambique

coast attracts those travellers eager to try some

outstanding fishing and world-class diving; those

who enjoy whale watching, horse riding in the surf

and dunes, kite surfing and snorkelling; and those

who just want to relax and unwind. here, the food,

the sunshine, the landscape and the

genuine culture treat guests to a state

of pure bliss for their entire stay.

 Many of Mozambique’s most luxu-

rious top-end properties are located

on its delightful archipelagos. The

best known and most visited of these

archipelagos are the Bazaruto and the

Quirimbas, also proclaimed national

marine reserves.

gatewayThe Bazaruto lies opposite the

gateway resort town of vilankulo

for visitors arriving from within

Mozambique and south Africa. it

comprises four main islands:

Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque

and santa carolina.

further north, right at the tip,

you’ll find the Quirimbas, a cluster

of 30 or so islands with Pemba city

as its gateway for visitors arriving

Page 33: Destination Mozambique 2013

from within Mozam-

bique itself and also from south Africa,

Tanzania and Kenya.  The Quirimbas

are becoming famous for their unique

culture as well as their untouched and

unexplored marine treasures.

retreatfor those who love Mozambique – and

there are many – and who want a more

permanent relationship with the country,

there are opportunities to invest in

building a hotel or buying a beach-front

villa, or part of a villa, even on a private

island. vilankulo, with its good air links to

Johannesburg and Maputo, is especially

popular with those seeking to buy such

an away-from-it-all retreat.

MAPuTo’s ArchiTecTurAl heriTAge iS a joy

Exploring the architecture of Mozambique can be a truly eye-opening experience as you come

face-to-face with the nation’s history, ethos, politics and peoples.

The railway station in Maputo may look familiar to many visi-

tors, having appeared in the film ‘Blood diamond’, starring

leonardo dicaprio and djimon hounsou; but this city land-

mark has an aesthetic charm apart from its cinematic links. its

turn-of-the-century pillars, verandas, dome and wrought-iron

lattice work – designed by Alexandre gustav eiffel, creator of

the eponymous Parisian tower – are a joy to behold.

venueThe station is also home to chez rangel Jazz café Kumufu.

on friday nights the whole station turns into a live music

venue and visitors dance on the platforms.

32

for those arriving by train, the colonial-era station is just the

beginning of Maputo’s architectural Art deco treats, with

other examples to be found throughout the city. one notable

example is the catedral Metropolitana de nossa senhora da

conceição (the Metropolitan cathedral of our lady of the

immaculate conception), a fine example of 1920s ziggurat

style. This concrete-built cathedral, with its commanding

single spire, dominates independence square, which also

contains the neo-classical city hall. for a further Art deco

treat, the wonderfully pink fading cine Africa Theatre has

delightful interiors including hand-painted wallpaper, vast

lamps and glorious stairs leading to the auditorium. it is now

home to the national dance company, and visitors may have

a chance to see rehearsals in progress.

Maputo is an eclectic mix of architectural styles and many

young architects visit the city for inspiration. The city was in

a time warp during the civil war (1977 to 1992).

salazar’s new era public buildings sit next

to stalinist ones, evoking memories of the

revolutionary past, while the brash colours

and functionality of Art deco are surrounded

by modern tropical gems such as the smiling

lion apartment block, which captured inter-

national attention in the 1960s. This building,

with its pleasing mixture of African-inspired

murals, mosaics, curves and spikes, is the

creation of artist, sculptor, painter and archi-

tect Pancho guedes, born in Portugal in

1925. The 100-plus buildings, ranging from

the old houses of Alfama to those inspired

by Antoni gaudi and frank lloyd wright,

have truly moulded the face of the city.

The Portuguese-style architecture of

Maputo owes much to the work of

Amancio guedes, whose influence can be

Page 35: Destination Mozambique 2013

felt as you walk along streets

where the skyline is dominated by modernist structures. The

biggest selection of the 1950s creations of this architect are

to be found in Mozambique.

unitywhile the passage of time is exemplified in the buildings of

Maputo, the original capital, ilha de Moçambique (island of

Mozambique), has an architectural unity that can make

visitors feel as if they are stepping into the past.

The island is linked to the mainland by a 3.5 km causeway

built in the 1960s. This former Portuguese trading post

and colonial capital city has been listed as a unesco world

heritage site. offering a wonderful contrast with Maputo,

the island is a place of pastel-coloured colonial buildings,

interesting fortifications and traditional structures. Building

techniques, materials, styles and decorative aesthetics date

from the 16th century, when the Portuguese first arrived, and

below the dividing line of the Portuguese city is the Mozam-

bican settlement of reed-built structures. here, building

techniques, materials, styles and decorative aesthetics have

barely changed since the 16th century and the two distinct

architectural areas, the stone-built colonial town and the

traditionally built houses, combine to create a hauntingly

beautiful monument to the heritage of Mozambique.
