Gondar
“From kings and churches to emperors and castles: another not-to-be-missed stop on Ethiopia’s Historic Route is what has been called the ‘Camelot’ of Africa: Gondar. Nestled in the foothills of the Simien Mountains in north¬western Ethiopia, Gondar... rose to prominence after Ethiopia went through a long period without a fixed capital, [and] emerged in the seventeenth century as the country’s largest settlement.” - EthioVisit.com
