This monolithic church, excavated from the rock, stands on a stepped base in the Axumite style. According to legend, it is attributed to King Kaleb (6th century) after his victory in Arabia, but some archaeologists place it more in the 14th century. It is known to contain the mummified bodies of some of the Ouag-Choum rulers who succeeded the Zagoué dynasty in the Lasta. Its sculpted facade and richly decorated interior are well worth a visit, especially the coffered ceilings and, of course, the mummies!
