Holy Trinity Church is a well known sight in Addis Ababa and arguably one the most important churches in Ethiopia. 

You can entered the church and pictures are allowed but you'll need to leave your shoes at the door. The middle door is considered the men's entrance and the one to the far right the woman's. 

Don't forget to take a walk behind the church to see the site of the old round church and this colorful gate.
