LLI is the airport code for Lalibela Airport, serving Lalibela, a small town in the mountains of northern Ethiopia, world-famous for its rock-hewn churches. Lalibela is one of the holiest places in Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, home to eleven medieval churches carved down into the solid rock, linked by tunnels and trenches. Built around the 12th and 13th centuries under King Lalibela, who sought to create a new Jerusalem, they include the famous cross-shaped church of Bete Giyorgis. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living place of worship, Lalibela draws pilgrims and visitors from around the world, especially at the great religious festivals. The airport lies below the town on the plain. Lalibela is reached by flights into its airport and by mountain roads. The climate is mild thanks to the altitude, with a main rainy season in the middle of the year.
