Maputo and Its Rationalist Architecture

As I said, Maputo astonishes with its rationalist architecture, or brutalist. This architecture is an amazing product of step that followed Mozambique's independence from Portugal. It happened in the year 1975, when the country became the Republic of Mozambique. The FRELIMO party came to power with the support of the Soviet Union and Cuba, which explains the huge constructions and sometimes this country is called the 'Socialist Havana'. As huge concrete cages, almost without decoration and strange owners, these constructions of the socialist era are witnesses of the recent history of Mozambique.

The architecture of Pancho Guedes is unique. Those that love architecture must see it.
