Enda Mariam coptic cathedral of Asmara,Eritrea

Enda Mariam Cathedral is an Eritrean Tewahedo Orthodox church in Asmara, Eritrea. It is the main Eritrean Tewahedo orthodox church of Eritrea. The cathedral is located on Arbate Asmara Street.

Name Edit

In the Tigrinya language enda (እንዳ), when combined with another noun, indicates a structure associated with that other thing. Thus enda bani (bread) means a bakery, enda afras (horses) means a stable, enda dewel (bell) means a church tower or belfry, enda tseba (milk) means a dairy.[1] Mariam (ማርያም) means Mary. The church is also called Kidisti Mariam (Saint Mary).[2]

Description Edit

In its present rationalist/modernist style, the church dates from 1938, when an unknown Italian architect,[3] added the upper portions of the two flanking towers and the modernistic treatment of the façade to the 1920 form designed by Ernesto Gallo.[2][3][4] The 1920 form has also been attributed to Odoardo Cavagnari,[5] who designed Asmara's Opera and Asmara's futuristic Fiat Tagliero service station,[6] and who was Asmara's Chief of Public Works,[7]

Both the central block and the two large freestanding square towers that flank it are built in alternate layers of brick and stone, emulating the layers of wood and stone of Aksumite architecture, a technique that has been for centuries in use in the Eritrean highlands. The protruding wooden support beams in these structures have been named monkey heads.[4][8][9]

Earlier forms Edit

In his account of the visit to Eritrea in 1891 by a Royal Commission sent by the Italian government, Ferdinando Martini, in line with his derogatory attitude towards all matters concerning the native Abyssinians, described the then church at Asmara as less decent than the huts for hay in Italian farmyards.[10] The illustrated fourth (1896) edition of his book includes a photograph of the church,[11] some seven metres long, with traditional monkey head walls and a thatched roof whose projection beyond the walls was supported by rough poles.

A 1922 photograph of the church and its two towers in their 1920 form[12] shows that it then had no trace of the modernistic elements that in 1938 made it decidedly more elegant.

Massawa (Tigrinya: ምጽዋዕ; Arabic: مصوع‎)[2] is a city on the Red Sea coast of Eritrea located at the northern end of the Gulf of Zula beside the Dahlak Archipelago. As a historical and important port for many centuries, it was ruled by a succession of polities, including the Axumite Empire, Medri Bahri Kingdom, the Umayyad Caliphate, various Beja sultanates, the Ottoman Empire, the Khedivate of Egypt, Italy, Britain, and Ethiopia, until Eritrea's independence in 1991. Massawa was the capital of the Italian Colony of Eritrea until it was moved to Asmara in 1897[3].

It is along the 65 miles of road between Asmara and Massawa, that you can see the most beautiful landscapes of Eritrea. The road winds down from an altitude of 2 438 m to sea level, going through valleys, deserts and the bush. It offers a magnificent view over the coastal desert of the Red Sea, and goes through the famous Orthodox Monastery Debre Bizen.

The town and port of massawa,Eritrea

Massawa (Tigrinya: ምጽዋዕ; Arabic: مصوع‎)[2] is a city on the Red Sea coast of Eritrea located at the northern end of the Gulf of Zula beside the Dahlak Archipelago. As a historical and important port for many centuries, it was ruled by a succession of polities, including the Axumite Empire, Medri Bahri Kingdom, the Umayyad Caliphate, various Beja sultanates, the Ottoman Empire, the Khedivate of Egypt, Italy, Britain, and Ethiopia, until Eritrea's independence in 1991. Massawa was the capital of the Italian Colony of Eritrea until it was moved to Asmara in 1897[3].

Massawa was originally a small seaside village, lying in lands coextensive with the Kingdom of Axum in antiquity and overshadowed by the nearby port of Adulis about 50 kilometres (31 mi) to the south.[4]

The city reportedly has the oldest mosque in Africa, that is the Mosque of the Companions (Arabic: م‎, translit. Masjid aṣ-Ṣaḥābah). It was reportedly built by companions of Muhammad who escaped persecution by Meccans.[5] Following the fall of Axum in the 8th century, the area around Massawa and the town itself became occupied by the Umayyad Caliphate from 702 to 750 CE. The Beja people would also come to rule within Massawa during the Beja Kingdom of Eritrea from the year 740 to the 14th century. Massawa was sited between the sultanates of Qata, Baqulin, and Dahlak. Midri-Bahri, an Eritrean kingdom (14th–19th centuries), gained leverage at various times and ruled over Massawa. The port city would also come under the supreme control of the Balaw people (people of Arab descent), during the Balaw Kingdom of Eritrea (12th–15th centuries). At this time, the Sheikh Hanafi Mosque, one of the country's oldest mosque, was built on Massawa Island, along with several other works of early Islamic architecture both in and around Massawa (including the Dahlak Archipelago and the Zula peninsula).

The port was a major site for the Arab slave trade and Venetian merchants were said to have lived in Massawa and nearby Suakin in the 15th century

Transportation
Edit

Massawa is home to a naval base and large dhow docks. It also has a station on the railway line to Asmara. Ferries sail to the Dahlak Islands and the nearby Sheikh Saeed Island, aka Green Island.

In addition, the city's air transportation needs are served by the Massawa International Airport.

Main sights
Edit

Notable buildings in the city include the shrine of Sahaba,[13] as well as the 15th century Sheikh Hanafi Mosque and various houses of coral. Many Ottoman buildings survive, such as the local bazaar. Later buildings include the Imperial Palace, built in 1872 to 1874 for Werner Munzinger; St. Mary's Cathedral; and the 1920s Banco d'Italia. The Eritrean War of Independence is commemorated in a memorial of three tanks in the middle of Massawa.

Economy:

Massawa is the next burgeoning tourist and industrial area in Eritrea. At a glance it is still under heavy construction but potentially the many manufacturing sites and businesses will recreate a newly major maritime city in the much-needed newly conflicted waters of the Horn of Africa.

Twice in history Eritrea was known for having the fastest growing GDP in Africa both in the 1940’s and between 1994-1997 (before the border dispute with Ethiopia). Alongside this is it’s recent climb to re-rebuild its small-scale economy.
In 2011 the excavation of mineral resources and extraction of its first gold deposits is now once again bringing Eritrea and it’s economic development potential back into the spotlight.

There are several potential opportunities to grow the economy in Massawa with these public-private investments.


A Free Trade Zone Authority has been established and its construction activities in the port of Massawa have already begun. Twelve companies including China, Italy, Israel, India, Djibouti, Sudan and Dubai have registered to use the free port.

Massawa is home to (thanks to tons of seawater) a salt factory, which imports and exports salt locally. Fisheries are also a main export item to neighboring countries.


Amazing still is the Old Italian cement factory, which despite rumors is still functioning! Like most of the old Italian infrastructure (including the ever popular old Italian railway) this cement factory is withstanding at least seven decades of operations. In addition to this cement factory there is now a second factory being built called Ghedem cement. It is still under construction and is a joint venture between Eritrean and Chinese construction companies.
