Holy Trinity Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The cathedral features three altars dedicated to Holy Trinity, Saint John the Baptist, and Our Lady Covenant of Mercy within its octagonal structure.
Emperor Haile Selassie commissioned the construction of this cathedral in 1928 to mark Ethiopia's liberation from Italian occupation during World War II.
The cathedral serves as a center of Ethiopian Orthodox religious education through its theological college, monastery, and affiliated primary and secondary schools.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors, with separate entrances for men and women, requiring modest dress code including covered shoulders and knees.
The remains of Emperor Haile Selassie, Empress Menen Asfaw, and British suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst rest within the cathedral complex.
