In 1993, after a long war for independence from Ethiopia and a national referendum, Eritrea gained its independence and named what city its capital?

Asmara is the capital of the country of Eritrea. During the time that Eritrea was an Italian colony, Asmara was named the capital of the colony in 1900. It remained a small colonial town until 1934/35, when it served as the Italian base of operations for their invasion of Ethiopia and grew rapidly.
