The city was in venue and visitors dance on the platforms. a time warp during the civil war (1977 to 1992). Salazar’s New Era public buildings sit next to Stalinist ones, evoking memories of the revolutionary past, while the brash colours and functionality of Art Deco are surrounded by modern tropical gems such as the Smiling Lion apartment block, which captured inter- national attention in the 1960s. This building, with its pleasing mixture of African-inspired murals, mosaics, curves and spikes, is the creation of artist, sculptor, painter and archi- tect Pancho Guedes, born in Portugal in 1925. The 100-plus buildings, ranging from the old houses of Alfama to those inspired by Antoni Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright, have truly moulded the face of the city.

INTERESTING FACT: Unity Mozambique is home to former president While the passage of time is exemplified in the buildings of Joachim Chissano, one Maputo, the original capital, Ilha de Moçambique (Island of of only three winners Mozambique), has an architectural unity that can make of the Mo Ibrahim prize visitors feel as if they are stepping into the past. for transparency and integrity. The island is linked to the mainland by a 3.5 km causeway built in the 1960s. This former Portuguese trading post and colonial capital city has been listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Offering a wonderful contrast with Maputo, the island is a place of pastel-coloured colonial buildings, interesting fortifications and traditional structures. Building techniques, materials, styles and decorative aesthetics date from the 16th century, when the Portuguese first arrived, and below the dividing line of the Portuguese city is the Mozam- bican settlement of reed-built structures. Here, building techniques, materials, styles and decorative aesthetics have barely changed since the 16th century and the two distinct architectural areas, the stone-built colonial town and the traditionally built houses, combine to create a hauntingly beautiful monument to the heritage of Mozambique.
