AFRICA HALL
Built in 1961, it features one of the world's largest stained-glass windows, creating a gigantic mosaic of colors.
Built in 1961 under the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie, to designs by Italian architect Arturo Mezzedimi, the building became the headquarters of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in 1963. The immense stained glass window covering an area of 150m2, created by the famous Ethiopian artist Afewerk Téklé, is known as one of the largest in the world. Its title, Africa, past, present and future, speaks for itself. The light shining through the stained glass creates a gigantic mosaic of colors on the hall floor.
