Wollo Province, Historical province in northern Ethiopia
Wollo Province extends across northern Ethiopia between the Abbay River in the west and the Afar Desert escarpment in the east.
The region functioned as the center of Ethiopian Solomonic emperors during medieval times, when it was known as Bete Amhara.
The Monastic school of Lake Hayq, established in 1248, educated numerous religious scholars and contributed to Ethiopia's theological development.
The province transformed into different administrative regions after 1995, with parts integrated into the Amhara Region and others into the Afar Region.
The region produced the four melodic modes of Ethiopian music, known as kignits, which form the foundation of traditional Ethiopian musical composition.
