Polana and Pancho Guedes Architecture Walking Tour
Overview
Do you have a passion for history, architecture, and the arts?
The architecture, art, and culture of Colonial and Post-Colonial Polana may all be found on our Polana walking tour!
Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, is home to the Catholic Church of Saint Antonio. Despite its striking appearance, this church's architecture is distinctly contemporary. It looks like a lemon squeezer because of its resemblance to that form. Additionally, the church acts as a point of reference throughout the city. Polana is not only famous for the church but also for the Serena hotel. Let me guide you toward the history of this rich culture!

We had a very nice tour with our guide. He was really fresh and let us feel well all the time. Get lots of information and shared some stories beside the tour. Absolutely nice guide in person.
