Best of all the rock-hewn churches. Arriving to look down at the cruciform monolith is a breath-taking magical/spiritual moment on a par with sunrise over Machu Picchu or the Taj Mahal in moonlight. Enjoy it! Bring a torch when visiting churches. More

The most famous among all churches, especially because of its size, the depth of the rock within which it was built, and the outside cross ceiling that features at the top of the Church. A beautiful Church and a great one for good photos! More

this church represents a magnificent achievement for King Lalibela, his workers, and the angels who helped them out; treat the site with respect, and half way from the road, look out for the training school for priests and the beautiful paintings they make on scraped animal skin More
