About
The Swahili Coast stretches from Mogadishu in Somalia in the North to Sofala in Mozambique in the South, encompassing islands such as Madagascar, Comoros, Zanzibar, Pemba and Lamu among others.
It is renowned for its impressive carved doors, often more than a century old. Of various styles, these doors come from a tradition that has its roots in the Middle Ages. They illustrate the variety of tastes, customs and populations that have coexisted, each owner choosing his door according to his social and community affiliation.
