Super cool place to visit and learn Ethiopian real religion and culture. Foreigners will have to pay 300 ETB, it is free for Ethiopians. In this specific church you will see famous people's graveyard and one of my favorite was the former Prime minister Meles Zenawi's 🥰

Haile Selassie and his wife are buried here so it is worth visiting for historical reasons. However, the most magnificent aspect of this visit was the intricate nature of the church and how stunning it is from floor to ceiling. There is also a replica of the ark of covenant and we were so blessed to have the priest open up the holy of holies curtain for us to see where the ark is housed. No one can see the actual ark but the priest. The smells were also incredible.

It's got some interesting architecture and Emily Pankhurst is buried here. It's no better than other churches especially is Europe. On top of this when we visited we went in and were turned away since it was prayer time, hence didn't actually get to see anything. And yet were still expected to pay the frankly disgusting price of 200 per person which is steep even for the UK. Overall I wouldn't even recommend visiting unless you love architecture, are very religious or have nothing better to do.

My visit to Ethiopia and Addis Ababa would not have been complete with out a visit to the Holy Trinity Cathedral if even only to see the final resting place of The Emperor Haile Selassie and wife Empress Menen final resting place. The tombs of the Emperor Haile Selassie and Empress Menen Asfaw, as well as other members of the Imperial Family, are inside Holy Trinity Cathedral. Patriarchs, Abune Tekle Haimanot and Abune Paulos of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, are buried in the churchyard, as is the famous British suffragette and anti-fascist activist Sylvia Pankhurst. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and other prominent Ethiopians are also buried there.

Very peaceful place

Currently under repair and closed to the public but that does not stop you being pestered by would be guides and the like that insist on charging you entry fees for passing through the grounds. Go to the director's office and report them andvyou will be able to pass unhindered

Absolutely amazing. Entry fee is 200 birr. The building is breath taking. The museum is amazing filled with wonderful treasures. The church contains the tomb of a King and Queen.

(Translated by Google) It is a church where the Emperor Celassi is sacked and the remains of 122 victims are enshrined according to the will to share the remains of those who participated in the Korean War. The emperor was also found dead under Ethiopia's communist sovereignty and was found under a wooden floor during the remodeling of his office. I am very grateful and grateful for the country, but it is heavy that I was persecuted in the communist world. It's hard to visit, but I think it's a must visit place for Koreans. Religiously, the stained glass inside is so beautiful. At that time, Ethiopia was a very rich country of $ 30,000 GMP, so we already ordered this splendid stained glass in Europe when we were devastated by the Korean War. However, it's too bad to see the current situation that has collapsed so badly because of communism. However, the veterans of the veteran who are proud of being treated by these hospitals and their families are completely free of charge and sponsored by various volunteer organizations.

Pretty, but tourists will be charged an exorbitant fee to get in and take pictures. Don’t waste your time, Jesus didn’t die for this.

The church build by the last Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Silassie. You will pay 300 birr entrance fee if you are not Ethiopian citizen. At the ticket office they will arrange you a guide who knows history of the church; you just need to Tip for the guide based on the service; unless it includes with entrance fees.

The Cathedral is the resting place of the last Emperor of the more 3000 years old Solomonic dynasty.

A wonderful place, full of life and great trees and landescapes

The good news is that, at the time of writing (April 2023) the cathedral is undergoing, a much-needed renovation to restore the artworks; for the visitor, the bad news is nothing is visible while the work is underway. But they still charge foreign visitors 300 birr and you will be badgered by guides of dubious quality. Wait until the work is complete to appreciate this lovely building.

It's beautiful and historical church . Foreigner visitors will pay 300 birr . There us scammers who are saying they are a tour guide and take extra money .

It is difficult to say that this great church is the only place of worship. Rather, it is a wonderful place where religion, history, and wisdom are mixed. The architecture of the church is amazing. Even the cemeteries are reminiscent of Ethiopian history and people.

Beautiful church to visit in for foreigners to visit the that compound needed to pay 200 Birr , not unusual for visiting holy places but that’s how the organization works.

The paintings and sculptures were cool

The entrance fee worked out to be £5 per person, at first glance there didn't seem to be much to warrant the price tag especially when a guide was extra. Having said all of that we got to see the tomb of Emporior Haile Salassie and his wife. In addition, the museum was quite interesting not to mention the grave of Sylvia Pankhurst, who was from Old Trafford, Manchester my home town. For that alone it was worth the entrance fee.

The place is beautiful and amazing, currently it's under renovation.

Holy Trinity Cathedral, known in Amharic as Kidist Selassie, is the highest ranking Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo cathedral in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Nice place. We have a very nice guide to show us around. The entrance fee is 150 birr pax

I would go to another places before visiting this cathedral. You can not get in and is under construction for a long time, so good pics are difficult to make

The best cathedral church i have ever seen. It's old but diamond in the rough.

Beautiful Orthodox Church. Be careful that you don’t enter the wrong gate because the guards will chase you out. Not the most welcoming spot for visitors

A Cathedral built during the reign of King Haileselassie I, after the expulsion of Italians from Ethiopia. It is copper domed and is a primary burial place for leaders famous individuals that have excelled in their respective fields.

Lots of memories and the place which accommodates all the Legends of Eithopia

Holy Trinity Cathedral, Kidist Selassie, is the highest-ranking Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo cathedral in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It was built to commemorate Ethiopia's victory over the Italian occupation.

Beautiful cathedral. 300birr entrance fee for foreigners.

Amazing experience, with great guides that are well informed.

It's really beautiful and historical place.

This massive and ornate cathedral is the second-most important place of worship in Ethiopia (ranking behind the Old Church of St Mary of Zion in Aksum).

Upon approach you'll be harassed by a lot of unofficial "guides" or men with sticks who seem to be wading them off. Both groups will endlessly yell at you: Ticket?! You need ticket?! Come, here is ticket!? You need ticket!? If you say you don't need ticket to talk to God and you just want to pray in peace they get annoyed.

Such a beautiful religion and destination, deep in it’s lineage and roots and so rich with it’s history and culture. It would be an absolute honor and privilege to visit such a prestigious location!! #traveldestination #travel #HolyTrinity #HolyTrinityCathedral #bucketlist #lineage #history #culture

Aesthetic,divine holy place Many influential peoples burial including PM. MELES ZENAWI ,HIS HOLINESS ARC BISHOP MERKOREOS AND SO ON....

A nice and beautiful place full of history

Sylvia Pankhurst is buried here. She started women suffrage movement in England which resulted in women having voting rights. Bodies of the last emperor, Haile Selasie and wife, were reburied in tombs inside the church building itself. Second photo of the blue building is the ticket office

Beautiful Structure..The Architecture and Details are really beautiful.

good!!

The seat of the church. A beautiful cemetery filled with important historical personalities. Do not miss wondering around

Must visit in Addis. Better with guide for more interesting stories

nice vibrant environment and a well preserved Cathedral. make sure you walk around in the area, nice pubs and restaurants.

Like other places of interest in Addis Ababa It is best to keep an open mind and not compare Ethiopia notable building to Europian architecture or history. That way you will be rewarded. I was fortunate to have a guide who covered every need and took care of the entry fee. The highlight for me was the group of cantors singing, which to me was the closest thing to Gregorian chants if one wants to bring a form of comparisonof. Only bolder and I met it with reverence when my guide explained that it back dated the provemance to 300 years

The Holy Trinity Cathedral is one of the historical site from the Ethiopian Orthodox church in Addis Ababa with many reasons.I just want to let you know if you get a chance you have to see it!!!.

It is beautiful place

Must visit

It is wonderful cathedral and i love it.

An amazing place...!

Just an orthodox Church like others. I am not orthodox though!

(Translated by Google) It is the holiest place for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, it was built as a vote of gratitude for the victorious war with Italy. Inside, there are beautiful wall paintings, icons and stained glass windows.

Fantastic history.

Built in 20th century, architecture of the cathedral is wonderful with magnificent sculpture on outer walls.Inner side is very simple with colourful stained glass paintings and the tombs of the donor king.As no one is building these type of cathedrals anymore we get the chance to enjoy by paying 200 birr as a tourist which is expensive. Since sculpture is getting lost with civilisation progress,last chance to feel the hard work that has gone into this.museum has some good artefacts though the designs appear to be rude.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting document from the time of Halie Selassie. I liked the surroundings much more, with the cemetery, the other church and an area where people live in mausoleums. (Original) Muy interesante documento de la epoca de Halie Selassie. Me gustó mucho más el entorno, con el cementerio, la otra iglesia y una zona en la que vive gente en mausoleos.

Nice

Fabulous

Loved the stories of all the artifacts in this place

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and historic church. It houses the remains of Emperor Ailie Selassie and his wife. Suggestive atmospheres during religious ceremonies. Many tombs of well-known personalities of Ethiopian history (Original) Bella e storica chiesa. Ospita le spoglie dell'imperatore Ailie Selassie e della moglie. Suggestive atmosfere durante le cerimonie religiose. Tante tombe di noti personaggi della storia etiope

A lot of history here

Beautiful structure. Was in awe with the place

Total waste of money. Foreigners are expected to pay 300 birr, which is a lot even on the European standards. The church is under reconstruction from outside + inside. Yet they don’t tell you at the entrance and expect you to pay. Paid to see an ugly scaffolding and empty space inside. I do not recommend visiting even once reconstruction completed. The church is really nothing special. The next time I would not waste my time even if it was for free.

It is unfortunate that the church, which is a place of prayer, has become a business center. I was on the premises of the church with my fiancé, who is also Orthodox, and while we were walking, the Zebegna ran up to us and told me to buy a ticket. I told him that we are both Orthodox and came for prayer, but he insisted that she had to pay for a ticket. I tried to explain, but he pushed me. What more is there to say? This was a terrible experience for me as an Orthodox believer, and I will never return to this place.
