At the heart of Daro Ela Piazza stands a
towering sycamore tree, casting its protective shade over the bustling space.
Surrounded by terraced steps, it serves as a gathering point for locals and
travelers alike, offering a peaceful vantage point to observe the steady rhythm
of daily life. Donkeys laden with goods for the market, water carriers from Mai
Shum, and quiet pilgrims passing by in reverence are all part of the scene. As
the morning light breaks, camels and traders converge on the southern edge,
awaiting the signal to journey into the old town for market day. Here, at the crossroads
of rural and urban life, Daro Ela Piazza acts as a living testament to the
timeless traditions of Axum.
