Itinerario

  1. Lalibela is a town in the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia. It's known for its distinctive rock-cut churches dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, which are pilgrimage sites for Coptic Christians. Carved out of rock, the subterranean monoliths include huge Bete Medhane Alem, and cross-shaped Bete Giyorgis. Many are joined by tunnels and trenches, and some have carved bas-reliefs and colored frescoes inside. Bet Medhane Alem, home to the Lalibela Cross and believed to be the largest monolithic church in the world, probably a copy of St Mary of Zion in Aksum. It is linked to Bete Maryam (possibly the oldest of the churches), Bete Golgotha (known for its arts and said to contain the tomb of King Lalibela), the Selassie Chapel and the Tomb of Adam after break proceed to visit the second group of the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela called Western Group: Bete Giyorgis, said to be the most finely executed and best preserved church &the third group called The Eastern Group: Bete Amanuel (possibly the former royal chapel), Bete Merkorios (which may be a former prison), Bete Abba Libanos and Bete Gabriel-Rufael (possibly a former royal palace).

About Lalibela

Lalibela is a highland town in northern Ethiopia, famous for eleven medieval churches carved down into solid rock and still used for worship.

Lalibela stands at about 2,500 metres in the Lasta mountains of northern Ethiopia. Its eleven churches were cut from the red volcanic rock in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, traditionally under King Lalibela, and UNESCO has listed the site since 1978. The freestanding ones were carved downward from the surface, roof first. The cross-shaped Biete Giyorgis stands alone in a deep pit, and Biete Medhane Alem is among the largest.
