UNESCO heritage in Ethiopia

There are 9 historical sites in Ethiopia that are registered as UNESCO heritage.

“Each site has its own unique culture associated with it. Aksum is a site that has ruins which tell 3,000 years of history and that makes it a unique site. In Gondar, the castle of the emperor Fasilides is from the 16th century and it is also very special. Then you have Lalibela which most people consider to be one of the most important sites here,” says the State Minister of Culture and Tourism of Ethiopia.
