King Lalibela had eleven churches built in the 12th century, entirely by carving them out of the existing rock, rather than building them. A most unusual sight (and site).

An entrance
The churches have paintings on many walls and are still actively used and maintained by the priests. While the edifices are gorgeous and amazing, the priests exude holiness that is more interesting to photograph.
