Agula is a town located in northern Ethiopia. Located in the Debubawi (Southern) Zone of the Tigray Region, it lies about 32 km northeast of Mek'ele, just east of the Mek'ele - Addis Ababa highway (Ethiopian Highway 1), and 25 km north of Qwiha. It has a latitude and longitude of with an elevation of 1930 metres above sea level. Nearby is a stream and a pass (elevation 2030 metres) which share the same name.
Agula was an important station on the salt caravan route from Dallol west to Atsbi.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 24 July 2009)〕
== History ==
Agula was visited by the Portuguese priest Francisco Álvares on 13 August 1520, who called it ''Anguguim''. He mentions in the town "a well-built church -- upon very thick stone supports; very well hewn" which was dedicated to Saint Chirqos.〔C.F. Beckingham and G.W.B. Huntingford (editors and translators), ''The Prester John of the Indies'' (Cambridge: Hakluyt Society, 1961), pp 176-178.〕 The town is mentioned again in an inquiry conducted by Emperor Iyasu I in 1698, in which he proclaimed that tolls should no longer be collected there.〔G.W.B. Huntingford, ''The historical geography of Ethiopia from the first century AD to 1704'', (Oxford University Press: 1989), p. 237〕 The village was visited in 1868 by members of the Napier Expedition, who found the church in ruins; they were told that the church had been reduced to its current state by treasure-seekers acting on the orders of ''Dejazmach'' Sabagadis. Based on the "limited information now recoverable", David Phillipson assigns the construction of this church a "Late Aksumite or, perhaps, a subsequent date".〔David W. Phillipson, ''Ancient Churches of Ethiopia'' (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2009), pp. 48f〕
Records at the Nordic Africa Institute website provide details of a primary school in Agula during the year 1968.〔
