The rock-hewn church of Abune Yemata in the Gheralta Mountains near Guh is renowned for its truly remarkable murals. The fifteenth-century mural on its domed ceiling depicts nine of the twelve apostles who came to Ethiopia from the Mediterranean towards the end of the fifth century AD Carved into a cliff face with a sheer drop of 800 to 1,000 feet, Abune Yemata church is reached only by a hazardous ascent with tiny footholds and irregular hand grips.
