Often described as the Camelot of Africa, Gondar was once the capital of Ethiopia from 1626 until the mid-19th century. The main architectural centerpiece is the Royal Enclosure known as Fasil Ghebbi (UNESCO World Heritage Site) containing six fortified stone castles including the three-story original Fasiledes Castle plus chancery built by Emperor Fasil in the 1630’s. Nearby there is the circular Church of Debre Berhan Selassie (Mountain of the Enlightened Trinity) with its exquisite 17th-century ecclesiastical paintings as well as paintings of cherubic angels with wings, which adorn the ceiling and walls.
