Asmara has been the playground of various architects during various periods, and the results can be seen everywhere. It is probably the most interesting capital of Africa when it comes to architecture.
During Mussolini's time, Italy invested a lot of capital and manpower in embellishing Eritrea's capital. Asmara was even dubbed Piccola Roma, although it of course never attained the historical importance of Italy's capital.
