Abuna Yemata Guh is a monolithic church located in the Hawzen woreda of the Tigray Region, Ethiopia. It is situated at a height of 2,580 metres. He chose as the hermit monastery the summit of Guha in the Geralt Ridge and withdrew from vain life. Later, he founded a church carved into a rock. To enter it, you need to go through a steep and dangerous rise.
