is a monolithic church located in the woreda of the Region, Ethiopia. It is situated at a height of 2,580 metres (8,460 ft) and has to be climbed on foot to reach. It is notable for its dome and wall paintings dating back to the 5th century and its architecture.
The church is one of the "35-odd churches, the largest concentration anywhere in Ethiopia." It is situated in the erstwhile woreda. The entrance is reached by a steep and hazardous ascent with hand and footholds in the rock.
According to local legend, the church was hewn in the sixth century and dedicated to Abuna Yemata (also referred to as ), one of the Nine Saints. The Nine Saints are traditionally believed to have originated from Rome, Constantinople and Syria between the end of the fifth and beginning of the sixth centuries.
