Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Debre Werq is a town in western Ethiopia. Located in the Misraq Gojjam Zone of the Amhara Region, this town has a latitude and longitude of 6°52 N 35°31 E / 6.867°N 35.517°E / 6.867; 35.517 with an elevation of 2489 meters above sea level. It is known for its church and a hilltop monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary, around which the community grew. It is the larger of two towns in Enarj Enawga woreda. An early mention of Debre Werq is around 1620, when the Tulema Oromo were said to have devastated Gojjam as far as Debre Werq. Its next mention is in 1684, in an itinerary of Emperor Iyasu I. Cardinal Guglielmo Massaia met with Ras Ali II here in the mid-19th century, describing the town as sitting on a round hill with the church at its summit; the town encircling the church almost extended down to the base of the hill.
