Gondar, located on the high plateau just north of Lake Tana. The town of Gondar was the imperial capital of Ethiopia for 200 years. Gondar’s most famous monuments are its exceptionally well preserved 17th century castles. The largest and best is that of King Fasilidas. It is a stone-built construction with round turrets and wooden balconies. This whole complex of buildings is unique in Ethiopia and unlike anything found elsewhere in Africa. On arrival, as well as visiting the castle ruins and King Fasilidas baths, we’ll also make a visit to the Debre Berhan Selassie Church famed for its ceiling frescoes of many faces.
The Ethiopian medieval capital boasts with its large royal enclosure containing grand castles, palaces, houses and outbuildings. You will visit King Fasiladas's palace, the oldest and perhaps most Impressive of the castles. Beside the castle are various ruined buildings including the remains of a bathing pool, a chancellery and a library of Fasiladas's son Yohannes I. You will visit Debre Birhan-Selassie, one of the country's most famous churches that lie 2km to the north east of Gonder.
