Faza Attractions

 
Faza dates back to the 13th C, when it was almost destroyed by the Paté army. It was resettled and then dealt the same blow in 1587 by the Portugese. Faza is now a modern town and the central administrative center for Paté Island.

The ruined Kunjanja Mosque in Faza features a carved mihrab and some Arabic inscriptions. The tomb of Amir Hamad, who met his death in 1844, is located outside the town. Hamad was the commander-in-chief of the sultan of Zanzibar's forces.

The ruin of Mbwarashally Mosque, also known as the Shala Fatani Mosque, is also located in Faza.
