Although many travellers will have heard of the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia, few will know about the "new Lalibela" being carved out of the rockface by a devoted monk.
This pilgrimage site in Ethiopia was designated a UNESCO site of Outstanding Universal Value in 1978. There are a number of accepted spellings for the churches as they originate in Arabic script, so I have chosen to use those in the UNESCO listing.
Lalibela, Ethiopia, is home to eleven monolithic rock-hewn churches, the largest of their kind in the world, which have been standing for at least 800 years.
