View From Fasil’s Castle, Royal Compound, Gonder, Ethiopia, October 2007

Fasilidas’ Palace, Royal Compound, Gonder, Ethiopia, October 2007

Not a very good photograph or a particularly photogenic subject, but I have been asked more than once to post a photo of Fasil’s Castle. This building, rebuilt by UNESCO, is a weird mix of Indian, Portugese, and Ethiopian building styles, and quite unique as an architectural specimen.
