Wukro Chirkos

Wukro Chirkos is a monolithic church in northern Ethiopia, on the northern edge of the town of Wukro near the main highway. From the time members of the British expedition of 1868 reported its existence until the early 20th century, it was the only rock-hewn church known to the outside world. Wukro Chirkos is dedicated to the child martyr Quiricus of Tarsus. Due to its location, this church remains the most accessible example of these structures.

Located at 13.7997, 39.6036 (Lat. / Lng.), about 2 miles away.
