Even though it is little more than 120 years since its foundation, Addis Ababa has some fine historical heritage, especially in old houses. The number of historical buildings in the capital city are many.

Ethiopian Orthodox church buildings, places with religious character or liturgical objects and handicrafts are often considered to be among the highlights of Addis Ababa’s tourist attractions. As in other parts of Ethiopia, the churches in the capital city have beautiful liturgies, which are especially striking during major religious holidays.

Ethiopia believes in freedom of worship and there are more than 180 mosques in the capital.
