Asmara, the capital and largest city of Eritrea, is located in the northern part of the East African Plateau, at an altitude of about 2,300 meters above sea level, with a pleasant climate, and is known as the "Little Rome of Africa". The city was founded in the late 19th century as an Italian colony, leaving behind a large number of buildings that are a blend of ancient Rome, neo-classicism and futurism, and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Asmara's straight and wide streets, intertwined with colorful Italianate architecture, vintage cafes and independence monuments, display a unique blend of colonial history and indigenous African culture. As the political and economic center of Eritrea, Asmara is not only a transportation hub, but also a pilgrimage site for architecture lovers around the world because of its well-preserved modernist buildings, which have been described as "Africa's most unexpected artistic treasures".
