Exterior view of the Debre Berhane or Berhan Selassie Church in Gondar.


The Debre Berhane Selassie Church was built by the Emperor Iyasu and completed in 1682. Inside the church is open and plain, except for the wonderful paintings which cover the walls and the roof by Abba Haile Meskal Wolde. The modern city of Gondar is popular as a tourist attraction for its many picturesque ruins in the Royal Enclosure, from which the Emperors once reigned and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
