Mikael Milhaizenghi
ሚካኤል ምልሓይዘንጊ
A rock-hewn church in the Teka Tesfai complex, known for its carved domed ceiling and fine carvings, and reachable on foot.
The church was excavated inside a sandstone hill. It has a later-added porch in front, and its interior ceiling is carved with an elegant dome and geometric patterns. It is an important example for studying the evolution of rock-hewn architecture in Tigray. It is about a 20 to 30-minute walk from the Teka Tesfai roadside and can be linked with Medhane Alem Adi Kasho and Petros and Paulos. Entry requires a ticket, and the priest must be contacted to open the church.
