A memorable quote from this opening:
“Part of what makes this site so captivating, is that it links the natural environment with the built environment, the Divine Creation, on the one hand with human creativity on the other. Here endless seascapes humble us in the face of the eternal and unknowable – while a splendid cityscape expresses the confident accomplishments of particular historic moments……”(Aga Khan IV, Forodhani Park, Stone Town, Zanzibar, July 30th 2009)
