Gondar
This is the 17th Century Ethiopian capital which has a great significance in the country’s history as it returned the idea of building permanent capitals after the long-practiced mobile-camp rule which had been used by a line of princes.

Several majestic castles, built way back in an esteemed part of the town called the Imperial Castle Compound, speak out the glory of the kingdom that was. Attractions worth a visit include: the bathing castle of King Fasil, founder of Gondarine dynasty (1632); and the 17th Century Debrebirehan Silassie Church with uniquely painted ceilings and walls.
