The Mtoni Palace in Zanzibar
This is what the website says: "It is one of the oldest buildings of Zanzibar and it was the largest palace on the island during the reign of Sultan Sayyid Said, who moved the capital of his Omani empire form Muscat to Zanzibar during the first half of the 19th century. At that time, over a thousand people lived in the palace and its direct surroundings. But around the 1880s the palace was abandoned and fell into ruin."
It's also the place of birth of the famous princess Sayyida SalmeI enjoyed the tour and you have beautiful views of the sea.
