The city's layered history is visible in landmarks like the 18th-century Maputo Fortress and the Juma Mosque, while broad boulevards named after figures such as Samora Machel and Karl Marx reflect its post-independence political identity.

From the bustling Central Market, built in 1901, to the quiet halls of the Natural History Museum, Maputo preserves its diverse heritage while evolving into one of the continent's most characteristic capitals.
