Founded 120 years ago by Emperor Menelik II,
Addis Ababa has developed strong architectural

Ethiopian
traditions of its own. The Piazza City Guide will
take you along three walking tours designed to
explore the city’s early architecture. The first
two tours are set in the old economic center, the
city’s early mall. They follow the pace of Addis
Ababa’s first builders and craftsmen, stop at
major historical landmarks, and explain some
of the forgotten vernacular architecture. The
third tour wanders north of Piazza in a quiet
neighborhood rich in beautiful villas whose
owners were involved in major historical events.
Be ready to discover a little-known architecture
born from the multiple cultural influences
that made the capital of Ethiopia.
