Africa Hall: A Symbol of Unity

Africa Hall stands as a testament to Ethiopia's role in continental unity. Built in 1961 by Emperor Haile Selassie, it serves as the headquarters for the UN's Economic Commission for Africa.

This building, designed by Italian architects, features decorative motifs inspired by traditional Ethiopian shawls. Most notably, it houses the colossal stained-glass window titled 'Africa: Past, Present and Future' by Afewerk Tekle, one of the largest in the world at 150 sq m. The white marble foyer becomes vibrant as light filters through the stained glass, illuminating the space.
