It is located at an altitude of about 1,000 meters above sea level and has a semi-arid climate, with agriculture and livestock as the mainstay of the economy, growing mainly crops such as sorghum and maize.
Historically a place of diverse ethnic groups such as the Tigrinya and Kunama, Barentu has a rich cultural heritage, and the area was colonized by Italy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with some remnants of colonial architecture remaining.
