The Ancient Atlas

Medhane Alem Adi Kasho

RockcutAfricaEthiopia

Rock-hewn church at Adi Kasho in Tigray's Gheralta cluster (distinct from the famous Bete Medhane Alem at Lalibela). Carved into the cliff face with frescoed interiors. Part of the broader northern-Ethiopian rock-church corpus that long predates Lalibela in some scholarship.
