Which capital of Comoros is on Grande Comore island? Moroni is the capital located on Grande Comore, also known as Ngazidja.

Moroni sits on the island’s western coast and serves as the national capital and seat of government of the Union of the Comoros. Grande Comore is the largest of the country’s main islands and is dominated by Mount Karthala, one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

The city has long been connected to Indian Ocean trade and Swahili cultural networks. Its historic old town includes the Badjanani Mosque, traditionally dated to 1427. Moroni became the archipelago’s colonial capital in 1958, when the administrative centre moved from Dzaoudzi on Mayotte.

A common mix-up is confusing Moroni with Antananarivo, Port Louis, or Victoria. Those are capitals of Madagascar, Mauritius, and Seychelles respectively. Moroni is both a city and the capital of the island of Grande Comore, while Comoros’s other major islands include Anjouan and Mohéli.
