Bastions of the Cross - Medieval Rock-Cut Cruciform Churches of Tigray, Ethiopia

In the late eleventh century, Ethiopian masons hewed great cruciform churches out of mountains in the eastern highlands of Tigray. Bastions of the Cross, the first study devoted to the subject, examines these cruciform churches in East Africa and connects them to the great millennial revival of early Byzantine church architecture.
