A little-visited site with a palace built in 1730 and a church now a museum dedicated to the empress and her family.

Less grandiose than Fasiladas Castle, this little-visited site is bathed in a unique serenity. You can spend hours in the wild, bird-filled garden. The palace was built in 1730 by Queen Mentewab, then regent, to distance herself from the Court and the plots fomented against her. Only the ruins remain of this building, whose facade has retained its red volcanic stone decoration. A small museum in the old church houses the skeletons of the empress and her family, their beds and old books.
