Located on the Zegue Peninsula, which also houses the Beta Mariam and Azwa Mariam churches (Beta Giorgis having burned), Ura Kidane Mehret is one of the most important sanctuaries on Lake Tana, famous for its paintings from the 18th to 20th centuries, most of which have been restored. The circular cob church, covered with a thatched roof, houses a maqdas entirely covered with biblical and historical scenes unfolding into a kind of huge comic strip. Nearby, a small museum has some interesting treasures: crowns, crosses, bibles...

Easily accessible, the church is very popular, which attracts a whole crowd of souvenir sellers, children and "guides" as painful as they are useless. Pretending not to understand English is a good way to ignore them...

Eglise incroyable
Eglise circulaire renfermant des peintures multicolores retraçant les grandes époques de l'ancien et du nouveau testament, plus des histoires éthiopiennes. Etonnant de trouver cela au bout d'un tour en bateau sur le lac Tana! Ouverte aux hommes et aux femmes.
