Things to see and do Emfraz

This little-known Unesco-listed castle, 65 km from Gondar, bears a striking resemblance to its cousins in the walled city, with its crenellated walls and cylindrical turrets - or rather, what's left of them. Located next to Emfraz, you have to take a 1 km chaotic track to get there. Probably built by Emperor Sarsa Dengal in the 1570s, whose architecture was inspired by the Ottoman model of Fort Debarwa, it offered a magnificent view of Lake Tana. It was probably remodeled by Fasilidas fifty years later.
