Lalibela
Ethiopia's rock-hewn churches of Lalibela are one of the world's most extraordinary feats of engineering and faith — 11 medieval churches carved entirely from the living red volcanic rock, connected by tunnels and trenches, and still in active use by Ethiopian Orthodox priests in ceremonial robes.
