Majadiliano:Ikulu ya Tanzania

Ikulu (state house) of Tanzania was not built by Germany.

The word Mzizima was changed to Dar es Salaam by Sayyid Majid bin Said Al Busaidi who was a ruler (Sultan) from 1834 to 1870 who purchased part of the coastal fishing village to build a new city and named it Dar Es Salaam (House of peace) as part of commerce development. He built some government building including today government Ikulu or Palace (the State House) with Arabian architecture which is used today as an official residence of Tanzania President. The Ikulu facility was founded or built by Sayyid Majid in 1865 as an Islamic institute with its facilities including, boarding, Mosque, garden, and he brought scholars and students from different places to teach and learn Islam. During German force occupation of Tanganyika this facility was occupied by Germany force and used as their headquarter.

Other famous historical stone building called the old Boma located at the heart of Dar es Salaam city state, which is one of the city's oldest buildings. It is located at the crossing of Morogoro road and Sokoine drive, which is facing the harbour. It was built in 1866-67 by Sultan Majid bin Said. The old Boma converted as a Centre for Architectural Heritage which is a tourist information center and exhibition on the architectural evolution of Dar es Salaam city. 37.41.137.251 16:58, 24 Oktoba 2023 (UTC)

Mikingamo kati ya ENWIKI na SWWIKI

ENWIKI: Ikulu is the official residence of the president of Tanzania in Dar es Salaam which was founded by Majid bin Said of Zanzibar in 1865.

The State House blends African and Arabian architecture, with wide verandahs and covered walkways. It is white-walled with floors of African terrazzo, and stands in over 33 acres (13 ha) of grounds overlooking the Indian Ocean on the east and Dar es Salaam to the west. The brass-studded west doors are surmounted by a replica of the Republic's Coat of Arms and flanked by two giant drums. During 2001 one of the entrances after the car gates was adorned with two male Lions overlooking guests as they would be welcomed to the State House of The United Republic Of Tanzania.

The building contains a number of gifts from state visitors, including an Ethiopian shield with crossed spears, given by Emperor Haile Selassie and a representation of the coat-of-arms of the Republic of Tanganyika, given by the government of India in 1961, that acts as a backdrop to the President's seat in the Council Chamber.
