Asmara, Eritrea Mai 12, 2011: Façade of Cinema Imperio, a colonial times Art Deco-style cinema in Asmara, the capital city of Eritrea. Asmara is located in a high plateau, part of the Great Rift Valley, at 2,325 m. Asmara is famous for its laid back atmosphere and its well-preserved modernist and art-deco architecture of churches, synagogues, cafes and public buildings inherited from its period under Italian colonial rule. In 1939 over 50,000 Italian nationals lived in the city that was known as Little Rome. Today more than 400 buildings of Italian origin remain. In 2017, Asmara was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an exceptional example of early modernist urbanism applied in an African context.
