| Debre Damo is the name of a mountain and a 6th century monastery in northern Ethiopia, lying west of Adigrat in the region of Tigray. The monastery is accessible only by rope up a sheer cliff. It is known for its collection of manuscripts, and having the earliest existing church in Ethiopia. Tradition claims the monastery was founded in the sixth century by Abuna Aregawi. |
