Debre Merqorewos is a monastery in the Debub region of Eritrea. It was founded during the same time period as Debre Mariam. Among the monastery's notable qualities are its age and its association with the House of Ewostatewos. It maintained its land holdings until they were nationalized by the Derg during the Eritrean War of Independence.[1]
