Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia and the African Union (includes 53 African countries), has a population of 3.5 million.
The city is also called the “Paris of Africa” in connection with its great importance for the entire continent.
And recently, due to the growth in the construction of expensive hotels, high-rise buildings, shopping centers and clubs, it has often been called the "resort capital of Africa."
It is also the highest mountain capital in the world.
The city was founded in 1886 by Menelik the Second, the emperor, who made a great contribution to the development of Ethiopia, as well as to the confrontation of the European invaders.
It was thanks to him that Ethiopia took place as a state.
The people of Addis Ababa are people of different faiths - there are Orthodox Christians, Muslims, and Jews, and there are also supporters of traditional African beliefs.
Among the attractions can be identified:
- National Museum - here is a plaster copy of Lucy.
In the original, this is the skeleton of a female Australopithecus afar, found by an American expedition in 1974. Australopithecus - terrestrial primates that walked on two legs and belonged to the group of higher primates, lived 4 million years ago.
However, the found skeleton does not prove that humans descended from monkeys. - Holy Trinity Cathedral - is the main Orthodox cathedral in Addis Ababa.
Another cathedral for the Orthodox - St. George - is characterized by a characteristic octagonal shape.
For Catholic Christians, the main is the Holy Family Cathedral.
Among mosques is the largest mosque of Anwar. - Addis Ababa Stadium is the largest sports venue, the 2008 African Athletics Championships were held here. - Mercato is an open-air bazaar, the largest in East Africa.
Here, do not miss the opportunity to buy fine ground coffee, because this drink comes from Ethiopia.
