The Church of St. George is one of eleven monolithic churches in Lalibela.

Carved from solid red volcanic rock in the 12th century, it is the most well known and last built of the eleven churches in the Lalibela area, and has been referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”.

Lalibela, King of Ethiopia, sought to recreate Jerusalem, and structured the churches landscape and religious sites in such a way as to achieve such a feat. The churches at Lalibela are clustered in two major groups, one representing the earthly Jerusalem, and the other representing the heavenly Jerusalem. Located directly between them is a trench representing the River Jordan.

Daylin Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Daylin Ethiopia is a wonderful place it’s clean and everyone is nice and attentive. The streets are safe I go out anytime I want no issues. There’s lots at entertainment and nightlife close by, there’s lots of beggars around though I’m black Jamaican with dreads and they know I’m not from there . Daylin 5+"
