One of the main attractions of the country is the city of Lalibela, the former for many centuries, a religious center and a place of pilgrimage. On its territory there are 11 churches carved into the rocks. The largest of these, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior ("Bete Medhane Alem"), reaches a length of 33, 7 meters wide by 23, 7 meters in height, and 11, 6 meters. The most revered of the temples is the temple of the Virgin Mary ("Bete Maryam"), where the windows have the shape of the Roman and Greek crosses, swastikas and woven crosses. The church stands in a large yard, which was incredible effort was cut into the rock. Later, in the northern wall of the courtyard was carved church Cross ("Bete Meskel"). On the opposite side of the courtyard is the church of the Virgin ("Bete Denagyl"), dedicated to the sufferings of the Blessed Virgin. Through the tunnel labyrinth can be passed to other rock temples associated with the court.
Church of St. George ("Bete Giyorgis"), the patron saint of Ethiopians, Georgian and English, carved in the form of a cruciform plan tower with equal cross-beams cross. At first she was knocked out as a single unit in the rock, and then she gave the form of a Greek cross, and finally, hollowed out inside. The roof of the church is located on the ground level, the very same church stands in a deep hole, and it can only be reached through a tunnel. I can complement the description
