Amazing Ethiopia Travel and Tour

Gondar - The medieval capital of Ethiopia

Gondar remained a centre for Culture and trade for two centuries.

Founded by Emperor Fasilidas in1636 and famous for its many medieval castles and the design and decoration of its churches.


 

Flanked by twin mountain streams at an altitude of more than 2,300 meters, Gondar commands spectacular views over farmlands to the gleaming waters of Lake Tana. Debra Berhan Selassie, in particular, represents a masterpiece of the contemporary school of art.

An extensive compound, near its center contains the massive ruins of a group of imposing castles like some African Camelot.
The battlements and towers evoke images of gracious knights on horseback and of ceremonies laden with spectacle and honor.
