Asmara (meaning "The four made them unite" in Tigrinya), is the capital city and largest settlement in Eritrea. With a population of around 650, 000 inhabitants, it sits at an elevation of 2, 325 metres. The city is located at the tip of an escarpment that is both the northwestern edge of the Eritrean highlands and the Great Rift Valley in neighbouring Ethiopia. Asmara is famous for its well-preserved colonial Italian Art Deco modernist architecture, its lively downtown markets, and the combination of its Christian and Islamic cultures. The Fiat Tagliero Service Station is one of the masterpieces of Art Deco modernist architecture in Asmara.
