Home to the Great Temple of the Moon, a windowless sandstone tower raised around the 7th century BC and considered Ethiopia's oldest standing structure. The pre-Aksumite D'mt kingdom left inscriptions and ibex friezes now shown in the adjacent monastery museum. It makes a compact historical stop between Aksum and the Adwa mountains.
