One of the main attractions of the country is the city of Lalibela, the former for many centuries the religious center and place of pilgrimage. There are 11 churches carved into the rocks. The largest of these, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior ("Beta Medhane Alem"), reaches a length of 33, 7 m, width-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 are in the shape of Roman and Greek crosses, swastikas and woven crosses. The Church stands in a large courtyard with an incredible effort was carved directly into the rock. Later in the Northern wall of the courtyard was carved Church of the cross ("Beta Mescal"). On the opposite side of the courtyard is the Church of the virgin ("Beta Daniil"), devoted to the agony of the blessed virgin. Through the tunnel-maze you can go to other rock temples associated with the yard.
The Church of St. George ("Beta Giorgis"), the patron Saint of Ethiopians, Georgians and the British, carved in the form of a cross-shaped tower with equal cross-beams of the cross. She was knocked out as a solid block in the rock, then she gave the form of a Greek cross, and finally carved out the inner part. The roof of the Church is located at the level of the surface of the earth itself-the Church is in a deep pit, and can only be reached through a tunnel. I can add description
