UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Mozambique
| Island of Mozambique | |
|---|---|
The Portuguese settled in Mozambique during the 16th century as a base for their maritime trade routes to India. The island of Mozambique in the north of the country was developed from this time, with the buildings of the town demonstrating a fusion between Portuguese and local influences. The same building techniques, materials and decorative principles were used throughout, yielding a remarkable architectural unity to the island. Notable buildings include the St. Sebastian Fortress and other defensive and religious structures.  UNESCO World Heritage Site: Island of Mozambique | |
