dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the history of Aringo palace. The study employed a qualitative research method in the sense that data for this study was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data was basically collected from Farta Woreda and South Gondar Administrative Zone Culture and Tourism officie. Besides, primary information was gathered through field observations that the researcher made to the palace of Aringo. The researcher also collected relevant and pertinenthistorical information from secondary literature especially from books and journal articles. In order to substantiate the primary and secondary data, efforts were also made to collect data from knowledgeable informants through semi-structured interviews. Accordingly, the researcher prepared guiding questions. The information that was obtained from key informants was captured throughtaking notes.The data which was collected through the above sources was selected, organized, and crosschecked for its authenticity and reliability. Finally, the selected, organized, and crossched data was presented in the form of historical narrative. The major findings of this study is that Aringo took a crucial place in the political, administrative and social history of the reign of emperor Sussenyos and his successors who ruled during the Gondarine period. This was particularly true to the reigns of emperors Suseneyos, Fasiledes, Yohannis I, Iyasu I, and Bakaffa. The above monarchs, among other things, used Aringo as temporary residence and as a spring board to visit and suppress repeted rebellions that occurred in the different parts of their domain. In addition to this, in spite of its historical importance, the palace of Aringo sustained natural as well as anthropogenic damages owing largly to lack of attention by different stakeholders.The local people, for example, unwisely used the land where the Palace is stretched for their selfish interest. On the other hand, the study indicates as the concerned government body also ignored this historical heritage to preserve the heritage. Infrastructures are not fulfilled to the area to access tourist. Governments like the Imperial and the military regimes and the current government also left it alone and even the local people do not protect it from human and animal interventions.The results of lack of preservation of this historical heritage forced the local people not to be used from their historical wealth. This showed that the administrative zone and the local worӓda unable to generate income from the heritage and also they did create work opportunities to the local people. The land is change primarily to satisfy the demand of the local people for agriculture, fuel and as well as for grazing land. Due to this the area was exposed to ruin, soil erosion and land degradation. This affected the life of the local residence as well as surrounding regions. The major impact on region is the disappearance of the building culture of the medieval period of Ethiopia in the areas. Now a day, all the land was transformed in to grazing area and agriculturalfields with very little forest land. There is not standardize road construction, electricity, security and other limitations that forced the historical heritage not to be used as expected from the precious gifts of our golden medieval heritages.	en_US
