Arusha Declaration Monument

The Arusha Declaration Monument features carved stone panels and agricultural murals at the center of Uhuru Roundabout on Swahili Street.

The Chama Cha Mapinduzi party commissioned this monument in 1977 to mark ten years since Tanzania adopted socialist principles through the Arusha Declaration.

The monument displays agricultural scenes with farmers using hoes and animal plowing, reflecting Tanzania's emphasis on agricultural development and self-reliance.

Visitors can reach the monument by following Makongoro Road to the central roundabout, where the structure stands as a clear reference point.

The copper plaques of the monument required replacement after a 2015 incident, leading to increased security measures at this national landmark.
