Martyrs' Memorial
(admission Birr10; 6am-6pm)
From a distance, this memorial to the victims of the
Derg could be mistaken for the world's biggest golf ball and tee. From up close it's anoth-
er story, with larger-than-life statues flanking the tower that illustrate the true cost of war.
The domed building just to the north is a
museum
(admission incl with memorial;
8am-noon & 1.30-5.30pm)
that exalts the successes and sacrifices made by the Tigrayan
People's Liberation Front (TPLF) during the 1970s and '80s.
