Lonely Planet review for Ras Mikael Sehul's Palace

Although simply a smaller version of Fasiladas' palace, this place has a slightly foreboding air. Perhaps it's because it was the residence of Ras Mikael, the dictator who usurped power at the 18th-century's end, as the monarchy became increasingly impotent and ineffectual. Later, the building was used - more chillingly - as a prison during the rule of the Derg, and is said to have been the site of untold brutality and torture.
