Moroni, Capital city in Grande Comore, Comoros
Moroni extends along a volcanic coastline on the western shore of Grande Comore island, featuring numerous white buildings and a natural harbor cove.
The city originated from Arab navigator settlements in the 7th century and developed into a major Indian Ocean trading center by the second millennium.
The Badjanani Mosque, built in 1427, stands in the center of Moroni, where narrow streets contain buildings that reflect centuries of Swahili architecture.
Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport connects Moroni to Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways flights, located 15 kilometers north of the city center.
Mount Karthala, one of the largest active volcanoes worldwide, rises northwest of Moroni and influences the city's landscape and daily activities.
