This Pearl of Africa, as it's often called, boasts a rich and complex history. Founded in the 12th century, it served as a major trade route for centuries. In the late 19th century, the Italians arrived, transforming Asmara into a thriving colonial center. Their architectural influence remains evident in the city's Art Deco buildings, a testament to a bygone era. However, Asmara doesn't dwell on its past. After gaining independence in 1993, the city embarked on a journey of rediscovery, embracing its unique Eritrean identity while preserving its architectural heritage.
