If churches were assessed by their risk factor, ABUNA YEMATA GUH WOULD
BE OUR NEW SISTINE CHAPEL. Perched 650 feet above a steep cliff in Northern
Ethiopia, visitors face a 45-minute climb up the cliff’s vertical face in order
to access the precariously positioned church. Dating back to the 5th century,
history has it that its founder Father Yemata built the chapel to be closer to
heavenly spirits; however, others claim it was a strategic move to avoid his
enemies.
