Istifanos Monastery
Istifanos Monastery is a monastery in Ethiopia, located in Lake Hayq. The church structure was built around the 9th century by the Aksumite king Dil Na'od. In the 13th century, the church was converted into a monastery, in large part due to the work of Saint Iyasus Mo'a and later Emperor Yekuno Amlak.
