Wukro Cherkos
The northern edge of Wukro town holds a
rock-hewn church called Wukro Cherkos is a semi-monolithic church whose
side walls, front wall and roof are completely separated and projecting
from the Main rock. It is attached to the rock only on its floor and at
its back wall. The church is believed to have been carved during the
fourth century. Internal architecture and art works, rectangular carved
columns of quartz – rich sandstone, supporting arches and curved
ceilings decorated by similar designs characterise this church. The
presence of a sand stone slab with inscriptions of the Aksumite type in
the vicinity of the church may also support the claim that the church
dates back to Aksumite period.
