Clifftop Monastery
Serenity is only a fifty-foot winch and a prayer away.The clifftop monasteries of southern Arabia were built upon the top of 'amba', or flat-topped mountains. The most famous of these is the site at Debre Damo, built in northern Ethiopia during the 6th century AD. The monastery complex sits atop the mountain, over 2000 metres above sea level, with an entrance embedded high in the cliff side. It is only accessible by rope, with visitors having to be winched up the side of the sheer cliff face. Another of the monastery's peculiarities is that it can only be visited by men - women are entirely and strictly forbidden. A relatively large building, the monastery is home to many religious manuscripts probably created there by the tenant monks in their isolation. The site, through some extensive maintenance work, still stands today.
