This is a view of the town from Yeha hotel. You can see the new St. Mary church dome.

Northern stele field

The northern stele field located in the center of town and contains dozens of large stele some of them weighing few hundred tons. The new construction has to do with the return of the great stele from Italy to Ethiopia. They are now (2008) erecting it again.

Stele

This is the tallest of the standing stele.
