Tewodros II
Emperor of Ethiopia from 1855 to 1868
For the Coptic Pope, see Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria.
Tewodros II (Ge'ez: ዳግማዊ ቴዎድሮስ, once referred to by the English cognate Theodore; baptized as Kassa, c. 1818 – 13 April 1868) was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1855 until his death in 1868. His rule is often placed as the beginning of modern Ethiopia and brought an end to the decentralized Zemene Mesafint (Era of the Princes).[1]
Although Tewodros II's origins were in the Era of the Princes, his ambitions were not those of the regional nobility. He sought to re-establish a cohesive Ethiopian state and to reform its administration and church.
Tewodros II's first task after having reunited the other provinces was to bring Shewa under his control. During the Era of the Princes, Shewa was, even more than most provinces, an independent entity, its ruler even styling himself Negus, the title for King.

Fasil Ghebbi
Once the epicentre of Ethiopian politics and power, the crumbled ruins of the Royal Enclosure - also known as ‘Fasil Ghebbi’ - are all that remain of a bygone era. An ancient home of kings and queens, these crumbling castle walls have seen the rise and fall of Ethiopia's elite.
Atop lush grasses and surrounded by trees, Fasil Ghebbi served as the royal residence for the rulers of Ethiopia from the 1640s to 1864, and remains a site of significant cultural and historic importance in the country.
Also known as the Royal Enclosure, Fasil Ghebbi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built by Emperor Fasiladas who, after growing bored with the migratory semi-nomadic lifestyle of his predecessors, decided to make a statement by building a grandiose palace complex - one of the most magnificent structures of its time.
Surrounded by a 900-metre wall, the Royal Enclosure houses a series of churches, palaces and monasteries, each with their own architectural style.
Many of the early buildings have strong Hindu and Arabic influences, with subsequent occupiers adding their own touches on the pre-existing buildings. Portuguese, Moorish and Aksumite influences are seen in the later additions.
