| Eighth wonder of the World, is a church carved from a single rock. Formerly known as Roha, it now bears the name of King Lalibela (1181-1221), a member of the Zagwe dynasty. Lalibela churches physically prised from the rock in which they stand, these towering edificies seem to be of superhuman creation in scale, workmanship and concept. A complex and bewildering labyrinth of tunnels and narrow passageways with offset crypts, grotts, and galleries connects them all. |
