Debre Berhan Selassie an easy stroll 2km northeast of town. Despite its walls hosting the nation’s most
vibrant ecclesiastical artwork, it’s the ceiling that captures most visitors’ imaginations. Think of Mona Lisa’s smile and multiply it 104 times!
Debre Berhan Selassie Church built by Iyssu the Great is worthy of mention. This simple 16th Century thatched rectangular structure is dedicated to ‘The Light of the Trinity”. The spaces between the beams of the ceiling contain the brilliant wide-eyed images of more than eighty angels’ faces – all different with their own character and expressions.
