Dima

Dima Giyorgis is a monastery in the highlands of Gojjam, between the Ged and Ziya rivers. Dedicated to Saint George, it became a place of refuge and a centre of religious life. In 1655, under Abba Walda Giyorgis, a new church replaced the older cave church known as Qadamit Maryam. The monastery's history belongs to the Christian institutions that took root across the Gojjam highlands.
