Entoto Mountains

The Entoto Mountains (also called the Entoto Hills) lie immediately north of Addis Ababa, in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. They are known for their views over the capital, and are the location for Addis Ababa's immediate predecessor as capital.

These mountains are home to numerous churches, a museum of religious costume, and a park.
