A domed cathedral, a modern diplomatic block, and a green ridge across a highland basin.
Addis Ababa is easiest to read through Holy Trinity Cathedral, African Union headquarters, and Entoto Hills. A highland city of eucalyptus hills, a cathedral dome and a few scattered office towers. A broad dome and paired pointed towers rise above the green center. A modern block with a tall central section marks the diplomatic district. A long green ridge rises behind the city across the highland basin. The Holy Trinity Cathedral contributes a large dome and pointed bell towers, while the African Union headquarters adds a clean modern block on the rising terrain. Addis Ababa's skyline is uneven and open, with hills and trees doing as much work as the architecture. If the outline has a domed cathedral, a modern diplomatic block, and a green ridge across a highland basin, choose Addis Ababa. The combination matters more than any single building, especially when the skyline is simplified into one clean game silhouette.
