A PRIME PLACE TO STAY

Even after 800 years there is something so spiritual in the atmosphere of the rock and cave churches built during the Zagwe Dynasty that you will find yourself holding your breath – and involuntarily speaking in whispers. Especially if you’re visiting somewhere like the Yemrehana Krestos Church; it’s built in a huge, north east-facing cave and decorated with ornaments and murals that reach back over centuries of archaic rituals.
