With roughly a 50-50 division, Islam and Christianity are equally present in Eritrea, there is only a small number of animists left.
There is the Cathedral, a building which could very well have been built in Northern Italy itself. Right on Liberation Avenue, it is a landmark of the city with its tall belltower. The Cathedral itself is closed most of the day to keep out the homeless, but it is possible, upon request, to climb the tower and visit the church. There, you can see a plaque naming none other than Mussolini as one of the benefactors of the Cathedral. Then, there is the Orthodox church, a unique combination of local and Italian architecture and a place to go on Orthodox festivities.
