Holly Pillars

The rock hewn church Abuna Yemata Guh located in northern Ethiopia (Tigray) dates back to the 4th century. The church is sacred but accessible for tourists and pilgrims by a somewhat challenging scramble up a brittle yet polished sandstone wall. The church is in the bigger tower to your right. Known locally as the Guhe Towers, we climbed the twin Pillars to the left of the flat on May 17th 2012.
