About Gondar

Amhara — historic imperial capital

The 17th-century imperial capital, often called the "Camelot of Africa." Its Royal Enclosure (Fasil Ghebbi) and Debre Birhan Selassie church — with angel-faced ceiling — define a uniquely Ethiopian Baroque-meets-Gondarine style.

Highlights

  • Fasil Ghebbi castles
  • Debre Birhan Selassie
  • Timket at Fasilides' bath
  • Doro wat & injera
