Azazo and Gondar
The church of Takla Haymanot, which was for centuries the residence of the Etchage of the Monastic Order of Dabra Libanos, stands on a hilltop one kilometre from the village of Azazo (10 km south of Gondar). The church compound has preserved some architectural remains of the royal (Orthodox) church that was probably built there during the reign of King Susneyos (1607-1632). |
