• Kivukoni Fish Market - Originally an informal landing site for fishermen in Dar es Salaam, a port city founded by Germans in the late 19th century, the Kivukoni Fish Market earned its name from its role as a crossing point and trade hub. As Dar es Salaam expanded, the market was formalized by authorities, and the modern Dar es Salaam International Fish Market at Kivukoni was built between 2000 and 2002 with support from JICA. Today, it remains a lively, bustling, and vital center for local fish trade, culture, and a significant part of Dar es Salaam’s maritime heritage.
• Azania Front Lutheran Church - Azania Front Lutheran Cathedral is a Christian church under the Eastern and Coastal Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. Built in Gothic style by German missionaries between 1899 and 1902, Azania Front Lutheran Cathedral stands proudly along the Kivukoni Front road, near the Indian Ocean waterfront, facing the harbor and enhancing the splendid view of Dar es Salaam’s city center. The Cathedral, with its red-tiled roof, tiled canopies over the windows, and bright white walls, is one of the city’s most popular landmarks and tourist attractions. According to available literature, the name Azania originates from a Greek word meaning the Coast of East Africa, and thus ‘Azania Front’ refers to the front of the East African coast.
