It is situated near the head of Annesley Bay (also known as the Bay of Zula), on the Red Sea coast. Four kilometers away is the archeological site of Adulis, which was an emporium and the port of Axum. HistoryThe Kingdom of Aksum was a trading empire centered in Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. It existed from approximately 100–940 AD, growing from the proto-Aksumite Damot of the Iron Age period c. 4th century BC to achieve prominence by the 1st century AD. An important trade route led from Adulis, then on the coast, to the capital of the kingdom, Aksum, located in what is now the Tigray Region of Ethiopia.[1] In 1857, an agreement was entered into by Dejazmach of Tigray, in revolt against Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia, to cede Zula to the French. Agew Niguse was defeated by Emperor Tewodros, and the commander of a French cruiser sent to Annesley Bay in 1859 found the country in a state of anarchy. No further steps were taken by France to assert its sovereignty, and Zula with the neighbouring coast passed, nominally, to Egypt in 1866. Zula was the place where the British expedition of 1867 – 1868 against Tewodros disembarked, Annesley Bay affording safe and ample anchorage for the largest ocean-going vessels. A road was built by the British from Zula to Senafe in the Ethiopian Highlands.[2] The authority of Egypt having lapsed over Zula, an Italian protectorate was proclaimed in 1888, and in 1890 the town was incorporated into the colony of Eritrea.[2] GeographyZula is a village and port on the Red Sea in central Eritrea. It stands on the right bank of the River Aligede, on a narrow coastal plain on the west side of a natural inlet, the Gulf of Zula, some {{convert|80|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} to the east of Asmara.[3] The coast here is lined with mangroves, and there is an aircraft landing strip {{convert|5|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} to the north.[4] The original port of Adulis is now {{convert|4|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} inland, debris washed down from the mountains having accumulated along the coastline, extending it further out to sea. At Zula, the remains of the railway tracks, laid by Napier's Expedition to haul his heavy equipment ashore, can still be seen.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|author1=|title=Eritrea Foreign Policy And Government Guide |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sDVSMs-G5C4C&pg=PA27 |year=2004 |publisher=International Business Publications |isbn=978-0-7397-9641-2 |page=27 }} {{Coord|15|15|N|39|40|E|region:ER_type:city|display=title}}{{EB1911 article with no significant updates}}2. ^1 {{EB1911|inline=1|wstitle=Zula |volume=28|page=1049}} 3. ^{{cite book |title=Atlas of the World |last=Philip's |year=1994 |publisher=Reed International |isbn=0-540-05831-9 |page=108 }} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Naval,|title=Western Arabia & The Red Sea|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-ffWAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA78-IA16 |year=2013 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-136-21002-0 |page=78}} 5. ^{{cite book|author1=Edward Denison|author2=Edward Paice|title=Eritrea: The Bradt Travel Guide |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Qi-KQchGks8C&pg=PA176 |year=2007|publisher=Bradt Travel Guides |isbn=978-1-84162-171-5 |page=176}} 2 : Aksumite cities|Populated places in Eritrea |
