Gondar Castle

Gondar Castle is not just one castle but the name for an entire complex of palaces and castles in Gondar, Ethiopia. Known by the locals and the guidebooks as the Royal Enclosure. You will find it near the town center and easily located on foot or by tuk-tuk. You might also see it listed as Fasil Ghebbi Palace. One of the most interesting and intact sights we visited while in Ethiopia and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The entire complex takes up some 70,000 sqm, dates back to the 17th century, and is often referred to by historians as the Camelot of Ethiopia.
