Brief Description
"The 11 medieval monolithic cave churches of this 13th-century 'New Jerusalem' are situated in a mountainous region in the heart of Ethiopia near a traditional village with circular-shaped dwellings. Lalibela is a high place of Ethiopian Christianity, still today a place of pilmigrage and devotion."
拉利贝拉岩石教堂
"这是 13世纪“新耶路撒冷”的11座中世纪的原始窑洞教堂，坐落于埃塞俄比亚中心地带的山区，附近是环形住宅构成的传统村落。拉利贝拉是埃塞俄比亚基督徒眼中的圣地，至今仍有虔诚的信徒前去朝圣。"
