The most famous of the rock-carved churches in Lalibela is the church of St George. It's easy to see why the church rises to the top. St George is off by itself and features a beautiful, perfect cross as its roof.
Carved from one piece of rock? Yup. Done in the 12th century? Yup. Amazing feat? Double yup.
The church.
A couple of views from above. People for scale.
Patina detail.
St George from below and a peek inside. The church is two stories. Yes, all carved out of a single rock!
A corner at the base. Impressive.
