Senafe ሰንዓፈ is located on the edge of the Eritrean highlands. It is known for the ruins of Metera (also known as Belew Kelew), the monolithic church of Enda- Tsadqan and for the local stone outcrops. It is 135 km to the south east of Asmara. The surrounding area is inhabited by the Saho people and the Tigrinya people it's well known by its cultural and religious historical backgrounds. It is home to various historical, archeological and geographically significant sites. In addition to the historical places that are found within the sub-zone such as the Metera historical place, there are other archeologically and historically significant sites such as Qohaito and Tekondae. Metera, also known as Belew- Kelew, is believed to have been one of the busiest trade zones from around 7th BC to 7th AD. In the 1960’s excavation by a French archeologist, Francis Anfrey, three churches and a lamp with a picture of a fox jumping on some other animal were found in this place. The excavation took ten years and before the findings of Francis there was only one 5m long obelisk and some broken ceramics that could be seen. The excavation revealed remnants of residential buildings of ancient princes, kings and religious leaders and their castle with their properties, valuable crosses used by the people living in this area in the 7th – 8th century AD... Since Eritrea’s independence, the government has built around 23 water dams to increase the amount of land for irrigation and to ensure a year-round agricultural production.♥️🇪🇷 #Senafe #ERITREA
