A must-see petrol station?

It's not often that you are excited about seeing a petrol station.

Asmara, capital city of Eritrea, saw something of an Art Deco building boom during the Italian occupation of the 1930s.

The Italians left many legacies from architecture to cuisine.

This extraordinary double wing on this Fiat Petrol Station is pretty eye catching. The fact that the petrol station is closed for business due to a lack of petrol was our first taste of how the shortages Eritrea's trade embargo affect day to day life here.
