The World Heritage–listed Tiya Stelae Field is the most important of the hundreds of stelae clusters dotting the countryside from here all the way down to Dilla. Tiya contains 41 stelae up to 5m in height (including the buried portions), engraved with enigmatic symbols including swords. They mark graves of individuals aged between 18 and 30 who died around 700 years ago and were buried in the foetal position, though little is known about the culture that carved them. The site is about 35km after the turn-off to Adadi, at the south end of Tiya village.
