Historical SitesThe beauty of Mozambique is that it’s not only a tropical paradise, the country also has a rich history reflected in its historical sites. From Maputo to Beira, Chimoio and Chokwe, beautiful monuments still stand today to tell many fascinating and bitter stories of the days of old. One strangely underrated trove of history is the Heritage Site of Mozambique Island. It is populated with dilapidated colonial buildings that have given into the forces of time and sweltering tropical heat. There are also more monuments in Beira: the famous Macuti Lighthouse, the Cathedral of Beira, and the Ruins of Sofala.
