Mariam Dearit Shrine Eritrea

This small Catholic shrine to the Virgin Mary is built into a baobab tree said to be 500 years old or more. The site is extremely popular with locals and visiting Eritreans, and there's also a small chapel on site for ceremonies or prayers. Follow the dirt track through a neighbourhood at a signed turn-off just before the Nakfa road leaves Keren from the northern side of town.
