Atronsa Maryam (Ge'ez: አትሮንሰ ማርያም, "Throne of St Mary") is one of the oldest churches in South Wollo, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The church sits on small hill near the mighty river of Walaqa and about 5 km from the town of Woin Amba. The original name of this area was Kelanto.[1] It is also very close to the famous church of Mekane Selassie. The church was first built by Emperor Baeda Maryam in about 1468,[2] where he would also reinter Yekuno Amlak's body.[3]
