Located in the northern Ethiopian state of Tigray, Aksum is one of the most important archaeological sites in Africa and is known as the birthplace of Ethiopia's ancient civilization. The city was the capital of the powerful kingdom of Aksum from the 1st century BC to the 10th century AD, and at its height it controlled the Red Sea trade routes and maintained close contacts with the Roman Empire, Persia and India.
Aksum's most famous landmark is the cluster of giant obelisks, the tallest of which is 24 meters high, weighs 160 tons and is considered an ancient engineering marvel. The monoliths mark the royal tombs and are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also preserved in the city are the ruins of the legendary palace of the Queen of Sheba, the Nzana Stones (inscribed in three scripts, including Greek and Ancient Esperanto), and the Church of St. Mary of Sion, which is said to have housed the Ark of the Covenant.
As the spiritual center of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Axum hosts the Tinkat Festival (Epiphany) every January, attracting thousands of believers to the grand ceremony. The city retains a distinctive Ghizi worship tradition to this day, and its manuscript culture, stone art and traditional architectural styles have profoundly influenced cultural development in East Africa.
Today Aksum is an important stop on Ethiopia's historical route, which visitors can reach by flight or overland from the capital Addis Ababa.
