Probably the most perfect church of all churches in Lalibela, Bet Giyorgis is the only church that has been spared the scaffolding concealing other churches.
After visiting the other two groups of churches in Lalibela, it was time to visit the most impressive and famous one - Bet Giyorgis or Church of St. George. I had had a glimpse of the church from a distance before, when I almost by mistake saw the easily recognizable roof of the church. As I followed my guide in ancitipation, we first had a view of the church from above. From this vantage point, it was easy to see how construction of the church had been: the rock had been carved out, forming a deep and wide trench, after which the church had been carved out of the remaining rock.
