The Church of Saint George in Lalibela, Ethiopia, is a remarkable example of medieval architecture and one of the most famous of the rock-hewn churches in the region. Carved entirely out of a single block of volcanic tuff in the shape of a Greek cross, this monolithic structure is a testament to the advanced engineering and artistic skills of the 12th-century Ethiopian civilization. It is dedicated to Saint George, the patron saint of Ethiopia, and features intricate carvings and detailed iconography.
