Gondar, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
The Gondar Castles, collectively known as Fasil Ghebbi, are a remarkable complex of royal fortresses and palaces located in Gondar in Ethiopia’s Amhara Region. Built in the 17th and 18th centuries by Emperor Fasilides and his successors, the walled complex served as the residence of Ethiopian emperors and includes castles, churches, monasteries, and other historic buildings.
