Keren, Eritrea: Historical and Commercial Hub in the Horn of Africa
Keren, Eritrea's second largest city, is located about 90 kilometers northwest of the capital, Asmara, near the border with Sudan, and is an important commercial, transportation and cultural center for the country. Strategically located in the heart of the Horn of Africa, the city was historically a key military stronghold during the Italian colonial period and the British Mandate. Known for its multicultural fusion, where the Tigrayan and Biracial peoples live in harmony, the local market retains its traditional handicrafts trade and spice trade. Surrounded by World War II historical sites and old churches, it attracts history buffs. As a node connecting the agricultural zone with the city, Keren produces agricultural products such as cotton and grains, and has a vibrant economy that continues to be active, making it an important window into Eritrea's native flavor.
