Mwanza Old Town is the historic center of Mwanza, Tanzania's second largest city, and is known as the “Stone City” for its unique rock architecture. Located close to Lake Victoria, the Old Town is an important place for local business and cultural activities. The buildings here are mostly made of local granite, reflecting a blend of traditional Sukumar architectural styles and modern colonial designs. The old fishing market, traditional craft workshops and the ruins of the Sukuma chief's palace are preserved in the Old Town, where visitors can experience the daily life of the indigenous Sukuma people and their rich fishing culture. As the economic birthplace of Mwanza, the Old Town is still the center of regional trade, and its narrow streets and lakeside views provide a unique window into the history of the East African Lake District.
