The oldest hotel of Maputo (then named Lourenco Marques) in Mozambique
(Excerpt from the book ‘The Greek community in Mozambique’)
At the intersection of the Rua Araujo and the Rua Ferrer, very close to the railway station of Lourenço Marques, it was located the ‘Central’ hotel. It was the oldest hotel of the city since it opened in 1894 and was owned by a Greek. In 1911, Joseph Lianantonakis and Emmanuel Belibasakis bought it but in 1920, they sold it to Charalampos Kyriakakis.
