By the essential part of the twelfth 100 years, the point of convergence of power of the Christian Kingdom had moved impressively further south, to the Lasta district (a structurally critical region in north-central Ethiopia). From their capital Adeffa, people from the Zagwe custom (from whom this period takes its name), represented over a space which stretched out from a lot of present day Eritrea to northern and central Ethiopia. While confined verification about their capital exists, the sanctuaries of Lalibela — a town which takes its name from the Zagwe ruler credited with its laying out — stand as a showing of the innovative achievements of this period.

 

Lalibela integrates twelve designs headed for adoration which, alongside an association of interfacing entries and chambers, are completely cut or "cut" out of living stone. The act of cutting houses of prayer out of rock, presently demonstrated the veracity of in the previous periods, is here taken to an unbelievable level. The heavenly spots, a couple of which are separated, as Bete Gyorgis (Church of St. George, picture at top of page), have more complicated and unmistakable façades. They consolidate plan parts invigorated by structures from the Aksumite Period. Besides, some, as Bete Maryam, incorporate immaculate inside beautifications (above), which are furthermore removed of the stone, as well as wall imaginative manifestations. The inner parts of the blessed spots blend Aksumite parts in with later parts of Copto-Arabic surmising.
