Hayk Estifanos Monastery

The museum at Hayk Estifanos Monastery, on a long peninsula 4km northeast of town, dates from the mid-13th century and was founded by Abba Iyasus Moa. Between the 13th and 15th centuries it was among Ethiopia’s most important monasteries. It’s open to men only, and the church building is modern and ordinary, so overall it’s really only worth a visit if you have a serious interest in Ethiopian churches.
