St. George’s Cathedral is one of Addis Ababa’s most iconic and historically important churches.

Inside, visitors can explore the small museum showcasing royal crowns, ancient manuscripts, and historical artifacts connected to Emperor Haile Selassie and Empress Menen. The cathedral remains an active place of worship and a symbol of Ethiopian pride, culture, and Orthodox Christian heritage.
