Queen of Sheba's
Palace
(or
Dungur) is
the name of the
ruins of a
substantial
mansion located
in the western
part of
Aksum,
Ethiopia,
the former
capital of the
Kingdom of Aksum.
These ruins are
located in the
western part of
Aksum, across
the
Gondar
road from the
Gudit Stelae
field.
While it is
popularly known
as the Palace of
the
Queen of Sheba,
Stuart Munro-Hay
describes it as
"the sort of
dwelling that a
prosperous
Aksumite,
perhaps a noble
or high official
of the fourth to
sixth centuries
AD, might have
constructed for
himself."
