What to expect

  1. Portuguese Bridge
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Portuguese Bridge constructed in the 17th century either by Indian or Portuguese masons before the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1633, or later in the same century during the subsequent Gondarine period. If indeed the bridge is no more than little over a century old - rather than four centuries or so old - it would still remain as an impressive testimony to masonry skills enduring in the country that were inherited from the much earlier Gondarine period.From bank to bank it is 33 meters long ten meters high above the perennial stream, and of three arches. The largest and central arch spans two large boulders, pillars which nature has helpfully provided across the stream bed. Low castellations line the 2.75 meter roadway on top. So skilfully has the bridge been built that, in places, it is hard to see where its masonry meets with the natural rock beneath.
  2. Debre Libanos Orthodox Church
    8h · Admission ticket included
    DebreLibanos is a monastery in ethiopia lying north west of addis abeba in oromia region. The monastery founded in the 13th century by Saint Tekle Haimanot . along with the side of the church you will cross a river and proceed on foot a hill for about 15minutes .
