Lalibela Map Poster & Print
Lalibela sits at around 2,500 metres in the Lasta highlands of Amhara, on a slope below steep, eroded mountains. Its houses and lanes follow the contours of the hillside, stepping up and down in irregular terraces, and roads wind in from the surrounding valleys rather than meeting in any regular grid.
The town is known for its eleven medieval churches carved from the rock, attributed to King Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty around the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries and inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1978. A channel running between the church groups is named the Jordan, part of a design often read as a new Jerusalem.
A Lalibela map poster shows these features in an unusual way: the churches sit below the surrounding ground, so they appear as small, sharply defined shapes set into the fabric of the town. Around them, the looser pattern of paths, homes and open land spreads across the slope toward the valleys below.

Bete Giyorgis
The Church of Saint George, carved in the shape of a cross and standing on its own, is one of the most recognisable forms on any plan of the town.
Hillside streets
Lanes and footpaths climb and curve across the slope, following the ground instead of a grid, so the town's outline stays irregular and organic.
