History in Ethiopia

Africa's diplomatic capital, a high-altitude city of grand museums, buzzing coffee culture and the continent's biggest market.

A medieval pilgrimage town of eleven churches hewn straight down into volcanic rock, a true wonder of the Christian world.

The 'Camelot of Africa', a former imperial capital crowned by a walled royal compound of seventeenth-century castles.

The ancient seat of the Aksumite Empire, where towering granite obelisks mark one of Africa's oldest great civilisations.
