Introduction to the Church of Santa Maria: Adjacent to the Church of Jesus Christ, it is smaller in area and nine meters in height. The windows on the walls are of Aksumite style and there are three naves inside, which are unique in that they are covered from top to bottom with decorative paintings representing geometric patterns and animals and frescoes depicting scenes from the lives of Jesus and Mary according to the Gospels, but Most are damaged. . Above the main door is a bas-relief depicting two riders slaying a dragon. Since there are few animated sculptures in Ethiopian sanctuaries, this sculpture is among the treasures.
