أسمرا الجميلة فى يوم عيدها

Quote: The cathedral of Asmara was build in 1922 in the Lombard-Roma- nesque style. Its tall Gothic bell tower is visible from everywhere in the city and is a useful landmark if you ever lose your sense of di- rection. The cathedral, as well as the primary school, the monaste- ry and the nunnery, are in the same compound and can be visited. It is also possible to climb the 52 meter tower of the cathe- dral (guided tour) to enjoy a view over Asmara. The climbing is the most spectacular at the whole hours when the bells sound.

Quote: Al Khulafa Al Rashiudin (Followers of the Right Path) on Peace Street (near the covered markets), was built in 1938 from Dekemhare tra- vertine and Carrara marble. There is a square in front of the mosque paved with blocks of dark stone arranged in geometrical patterns.
