Church of Saint George
This landmark is the Church of Saint George in Lalibela. People named the area after King Gebre Mesgel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty. He commissioned the church, and according to legend, God gave him the instructions. Workers built the church using volcanic tuff and carved it downwards around 12 or early 13th century C.E. Saint George was the last of eleven churches built in Lalibela.
