The ruins of the ancient city of Aksum are found close
to Ethiopia's northern border. They mark the location of the heart of ancient
Ethiopia, when the Kingdom of Aksum was the most powerful state between the
Eastern Roman Empire and Persia.
The massive ruins, dating from between the 1st and the
13th century, include monolithic obelisks, royal tombs and the ruins of ancient
castles.
Aksum is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
