The Cathedral was founded by Emperor Menelik Il in commemoration of the. 1896 victory that the country made under his leadership over the invading Italian army. A relic of St George was carried to the historical Adwa battle field inspiring the emperor to build the Cathedral as a tribute to the Saint that ensured the victory of the war. The cathedral has a traditional Ethiopian design and octagonal shape and the outer walls of the building are covered in splendid artwork and mosaics, including paintings by Maitre Afewerk Tekle — the renowned and world-acclaimed Ethiopian Artist. A museum is found in the church which has some useful information and interesting displays. From the top of the Museums tower one can have spectacular view of the city.
