One of the major sights of Ethiopia, Debre Birhan Selassie church lives up to your expectations as an extraordinarily beautiful church.
This church does not escape the fondness of legends in Ethiopia: while most other churches in Gonder were destroyed by the Dervish of Sudan, Debre Birhan Selassie escaped because it was protected by brave bees. Whatever the explanation for the church being saved - just imagine it would not have survived... - the Mountain of the Enlightened Trinity, as the name translates to, is indeed one of the prime churches of Ethiopia. It was founded in the late 17th century by Iyasu I, but the building had to be rebuilt after fire and lightning. Probably, the church is a good indication of the riches of other places around Gonder, before the wars that destroyed it.
