Gondar
Short Overview
You’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in Europe when you first see the stunning Gondar castles, but these impressive monuments were once the home to Ethiopia’s own monarchy.
Once home to kings and queens who ruled the country from the 12th to the 20th century, the Gondar castles allow visitors to imagine what life was like when the Abyssinian Empire was in its glory days. Remarkably, despite attacks from outsiders, the castles are well-preserved.
