Debre Berhan Selassie Church

The monastery of Debre Birhan Selassie is located less than 2 kilometers to the northeast of the town of Gondar. It was built in the seventeenth century under the reign of Emperor Yohannes I. Inside is the church you'll find arguably the most famous part of Ethiopia, translated as "Trinity in the Mountain of Light". The importance of this church lies not only in its exterior architecture, but on the treasure inside and more specifically on the roof where we can admire the winged heads of 80 angels or cherubs on the beams. They are smiling and observing the visitor with an enigmatic expression.
