Queen of Sheba's Palace



The Structure at Dungur , popularly known as the Queen of Sheba palace , is similar to Ta'akha Maryam palace. The architectural style -the small undressed stones set in a timber framework with the walls recessed at intervals and tapering with height -are typically Aksumite. The stairways suggest the existence of at least one upper story. The well-preserved flagstone floor is thought to have belonged to a throne room. The palace also contains a private bathing area and a kitchen, where two large brick ovens can still be seen.
