The capital of Anjouan and second city of the Comoros, founded in the 15th century and layered with Swahili, Arab and Shirazi influences. Its medina of narrow lanes, carved doorways and a hilltop citadel is among the best preserved in the archipelago. A working port keeps the waterfront lively with inter-island dhows.
