Lying 7km from Lalibela, just off the airport road, is this simple but attractive church (apart from the outer security wall). It’s attributed to King Lalibela’s successor and shelters in a natural cave. It was almost certainly the site of a much older shrine and Empress Zewditu built the inner red-brick building. Some very old stone receptacles collect the precious holy water that drips from the cave roof.
