Gondar was Ethiopia’s royal capital in the 17th and 18th centuries, and its castles have earned it the name “Camelot of Africa”. The walled royal enclosure of Fasil Ghebbi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Don’t miss Debre Birhan Selassie church, whose ceiling is painted with rows of winged angels, or Fasilides’ Bath, the centre of colourful Timket celebrations each January.
