Menelik II Square is located in the heart of Addis Ababa, the area locally known as Arada. At the center of the square stands a magnificent equestrian statue of the Emperor. The monument was erected by Emperor Haile Selassie I, in 1930, just before his coronation.
The center of this square is considered "ground zero" of the highways of the Nation: The distance markers on all the major highways of Ethiopia mark their location from the base of the monument.
