The Rock-Hewn Churches in Lalibela, Ethiopia, are a remarkable series of monolithic churches carved directly from solid rock in the 12th century. These eleven medieval churches were commissioned by King Lalibela and are considered one of the most significant examples of rock-cut architecture in the world. Each church is intricately carved and uniquely designed, interconnected by a network of tunnels and trenches.
