Reminder and remainder of its grand history, the Fasil Ghebbi or Royal Enclosure of Gonder still is the heart of the city and defines modern Gonder.
Even though the Fasil Ghebbi or Royal Enclosure is surrounded by a low wall, it is hard to miss seeing the towers of the palaces inside upon entering Gonder. Something else to strike you, is the more relaxed and friendly atmosphere in this former capital of Ethiopia, as compared to other cities in these parts of Ethiopia like Bahir Dar or Axum. Since the light was outright bad when we arrived, we decided to wait until the last possible moment to buy our ticket and enter the royal compound. Stepping inside means stepping back in time, you leave modern-day Gonder behind and walk where royals were walking centuries ago.
