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.
According to legend, after King Lalibela finished constructing ten rock-hewn churches, St. George was so upset that there was no church dedicated to him, that he personally paid the king a visit to settle the issue. King Lalibela felt bad about it, and promised he would build the most beautiful church for St. George. And so he did: even now, few would contest that Bet Giyorgis is the most perfect church, and the most spectacular at least from the outside, of all of the churches in Lalibela. In reality, the church was probably carved out after Lalibela died. In any way, it is the youngest of the churches in Lalibela: early 13th century. From above, you see the Greek cross-shape of the church, and appreciate the large cross carved in the roof of the church. As anywhere in Lalibela, you can walk right up to the edge, and look deep down into the trench around the church.
