- Figure 7.18. A contemporary map of Zanzibar Stone Town showing buildings by ownership. With public properties around the perimeter and private properties in the interior, the map initially suggests a dichotomous spatial geography. This geography, however, is made complicated by a significant number of religious properties. Generally public/communal in nature, these buildings are distributed throughout the map. It is likely that such complexity in spatial geography also existed in Omani Zanzibar. (Created by the author.)
