, Orthodox Church on Entoto Hills, Ethiopia

The octagonal church building stands on Entoto Mountain, featuring traditional Ethiopian architecture with distinctive domes overlooking the capital city of Addis Ababa.

Emperor Menelik II established the church in 1886, creating a foundation for what would become Addis Ababa, the modern capital of Ethiopia.

The church maintains Ethiopian Orthodox traditions through religious ceremonies, displaying religious art, traditional paintings, and intricate carvings within its walls.

Visitors need to coordinate their visits with Sunday Mass times, as the church primarily welcomes active worshippers rather than casual tourists.

The church museum houses personal items from Emperor Menelik II and Empress Taytu, including a mirror gifted by Queen Victoria of England.
