Gonder Faciledes castle
Another popular place to visit in Ethiopia, Gonder offers a chance to explore wonderfully preserved 17th-century African buildings. The early morning offers the best views of the castles, palaces and other monuments; a lasting legacy of Ethiopia’s opulent but brutal past.
Not surprisingly, this is a Unesco world heritage site. Be sure to include the oldest and most impressive building – Fasiladas’ Palace – on your tour of Gonder
