House of Wonders

House of Wonders
La House of Wonders au début du XXe siècle.

La House of Wonders (« Maison des Merveilles ») ou le Palace of Wonders (« Palais des Merveilles »), en arabe : Beit-al-Ajaib, est un bâtiment emblématique de Stone Town, dans l'archipel de Zanzibar, en Tanzanie.

C'est le bâtiment le plus haut de Stone Town et il occupe une place symbolique en face des Forodhani Gardens en bord de mer de la vieille ville. Il est situé entre l’Old Fort et le Palace Museum. Il est l'un des six palais construit par Barghash bin Said, deuxième sultan de Zanzibar, et serait situé sur le site du palais du XVIIe siècle de la reine Fatuma.

La House of Wonders abrite actuellement le musée d'histoire et de la culture de Zanzibar et de la côte swahili.
