STRONG TIGU

Situated on a hill in the north-east of the city, at 1 460 m above sea level, the old Egyptian fort still dominates Keren. The guns of the Ethiopian army are still there, and it is difficult not to notice the ruins of the former Imperial Palace lying at the foot of the mountain, testimony of the war against Ethiopia. From here, we have a splendid view of the surrounding mountains and the city itself.
