Correct answer: Volcanic tuff

The eleven medieval monolithic churches of Lalibela were carved entirely from solid volcanic tuff rock during the 12th and 13th centuries. Instead of being built upwards, they were excavated downwards into the earth. The most famous, Biete Giyorgis (Church of Saint George), is shaped like a perfect Greek cross and remains an active pilgrimage site. Photo: Sailko, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 3.0.
