With about 550 monks, it is considered the largest monastic community in Ethiopia. It has impressive beautiful stained-glass windows with various motifs. In addition to its religious significance, it is a delight for nature lovers. The surrounding area offers beautiful views. If you are lucky, you will meet the endemic blood-breasted baboons here.
