Ce qu'en disent les utilisateurs

"UNESCO World Heritage During the Middle Ages, Ethiopian rulers moved their court frequently, the emperors traveling about with courtiers and officials, judges, guards, servants, and prostitutes, carried on anything up to 100,000 mules. In the 1630s, however, when Emperor Fassilidas succeeded his father, Susenyos, a Roman Catholic convert, he reverted to the country's Coptic Christian tradition, closed the country to foreigners, and created a permanent capital in Gondar. At the meeting point of three important caravan routes, Gondar became a wealthy commercial center that remained Ethiopia's capital for about 250 years and is so rich in palaces, castles, and churches that-despite being sacked by a dervish army from the Sudan in 1888- it has been called Africa's Camelot. The oldest building behind the high stone walls of the Royal Enclosure is the castle built by Fassilidas, which has been recently restored. With its domed towers, it seems to reflect Indian, Moorish, and Portuguese influences and may have been designed by an Indian architect. Tunnels and paths lead to buildings added by later rulers, including the library of Yohannes I and the palace of lyasu I, who ruled until 1706 and is considered the greatest of his line. There are also the cages where the emperor's lions were kept, the squares used for public executions, and the tomb of Walter Plowden, the British consul and a friend of the emperor Tewodros in the mid-nineteenth century. The compound was bombed by the British in 1941 when the Italians had their headquarters there. Outside the town are the splendidly decorated Debre Berhan Selassie Church and Fassilidas's Bath-the scene of the annual Timket celebration when it is blessed before being opened for bathing. The city contains some impressive Art Deco architecture from the period of Italian occupation (1936-41)."

"Grab a local guide and stroll around the 17th century fortress city; its numerous castles have earned Gonder the label ‘Africa’s Camelot’."

"In the 16th and 17th centuries, the fortress-city of Fasil Ghebbi was the residence of the Ethiopian emperor Fasilides and his successors. Surrounded by a 900-m-long wall, the city contains palaces, churches, monasteries and unique public and private buildings marked by Hindu and Arab influences, subsequently transformed by the Baroque style brought to Gondar by the Jesuit missionaries. 📾 © UNESCO"
