Dungur / Palace of Queen of Sheba

ኣኽሱም / Axum, Ethiopia

The grand entrance steps and the foundations (topped with well dressed ruined walls up to 3 m high in places) of this palace near the Judith stelae field clearly indicate that this was the largest and most impressive palace in Axum. Although everyone calls it the Palace of the Queen of Sheba, i

t actually dates from the 7th Century AD, about 1,500 years after the time of the Queen of Sheba.
