Cattedrale di Asmara

With a bell tower that reaches high into the sky, the Cathedral of Asmara is a sterling piece of Lombard-Romanesque architecture and a useful bearing point for lost travelers.

One of Asmara’s finest architectural buildings from the 1930’s, sitting over a large area, with exquisite frescoes and prominent tower that can be seen from any part of the city. It is one of the capital city’s outstanding landmarks. Up on entering its inside chamber, one is reminded of the many eminent cathedrals in Rome and other parts of Italy.

It is no wonder that Asmara is sometimes aptly dubbed as ‘Little Rome’.
