This rural town is known around the world for its churches carved from within the earth from "living rock," which play an important part in the history of rock-cut architecture. Though the dating of the churches is not well established, most are thought to have been built during the reign of Lalibela, namely during the 12th and 13th centuries. Unesco identifies 11 churches.
The Eastern Group:
Bet Amanuel (House of Emmanuel), possibly the former royal chapel
Bet Qeddus Mercoreus (House of St. Mercoreos/House of St. Mark), which may be a former prison
Bet Abba Libanos (House of Abbot Libanos)
Bet Gabriel-Rufael (House of the angels Gabriel, and Raphael) possibly a former royal palace, linked to a holy bakery.
Bet Lehem (Bethlehem Hebrew: בֵּית לֶחֶם, House of Holy Bread).
