Picture courtesy of Bieta Giyorgis Ethiopia is Africa's oldest independent, uncolonised country. The town of Lalibela, originally known as Roha, was renamed after the 12th-century by King Lalibela. During his reign more than 900 years ago, King Lalibela commissioned a set of church buildings to form a New Jerusalem, in a small town called Lalibela, in Ethiopia. This town is known to be home to one of the world’s most astounding sacred sites: King Lalibela’s motives were to create a New Jerusalem for those who were unable to make it to the pilgrimage the Holy Land.
