Conservation of Late 12th-Century Rock-Hewn Churches at Lalibela
This project, which builds upon work carried out under a previous Ambassadors Fund grant, involves the conservation of the Beta Mika’el and Golgotha churches.
The 12th-century hypogean (rock-hewn) churches at Lalibela are Ethiopia’s holiest and most heavily visited cultural heritage sites. [Photo credit: Project organizer]
