After the religious sites in town, make a quick trip to the old palace. Its an open air site just off the main road. Further along the road is the quarry where the original stella were quarried. All very interesting and a delight for photographers.
It's a good site. Not a site you need to go to Axum for, but when you're in Axum you should go! You can go by bike.
Obelisks close by. Includes remains ofnshower area of Queen Sheba.
One of the most important tourist sites in Axum that deserve a visit, lay here. This palace is birth place of Geez language. Geez was born here. This is the palace of Queen Sheba, the queen with who took an interesting part in the Ethiopian history. It was from this palace where Queen sheba ruled the whole Abyssinia. It was from this palace that queen sheba travelled to Israel, as attested in the Bible.
The remains still speak a lot about the power of this queen. Huge and complex was it. Related to this queen are also some other places in different parts of Axum, like the swimming pool of Queen Sheba, the tomb of Queen Sheba, etc.
It's highly recommended that someone pay a visit to understand the wonders of Axumite kingdom.
very precious site of old history
