Churches, mosques and temples

Tabora's places of worship: the churches of every denomination, the mosques of the old Swahili quarter, and the Shree Hindu Mandal.

Tabora has been a town of many faiths since the coastal traders built its first mosques and the German missions its first churches. If your congregation is missing or a detail is wrong, tell us.
