It was built to com­mem­o­rate the coun­try’s lib­er­a­tion from the Ital­ians, and many vic­tims killed by the Ital­ians dur­ing occu­pa­tion are buried here. The locals call the church Haile Selassie Church because Emper­or Haile Selassie’s body was moved here in 2000. It was once the largest Ethiopi­an Ortho­dox cathe­dral. Includes a small muse­um.
