• Kivukoni Fish Market - Initially an informal landing site for fishermen in Dar es Salaam, a port city founded by Germans in the late 1800s, 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 and culture, playing a significant role in 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, the cathedral stands majestically along the Kivukoni Front road, near the Indian Ocean waterfront, enhancing the splendid view of Dar es Salaam’s city center. With its red-tiled roof, window canopies, and bright white walls, it is one of the city’s most popular landmarks and tourist attractions. The name Azania is derived from a Greek word meaning the Coast of East Africa, thus ‘Azania Front’ refers to the front of the East African coast.

Also known as Kanisa Kuu la Mt. Yosefu, St. Joseph Cathedral was constructed by the Germans between 1897 and 1902 and consecrated in 1905. It showcases a Gothic Revival architectural style.
