Sitting atop a 130-foot stone pillar is the most remote and possibly the highest church in the world.

The mysterious structure is viewed in local legend as a “pillar of life” and a “symbol of the true cross” – upon which Jesus was crucified in the Bible.

Not much is known about the sacred church except that it was abandoned until a mountaineer and his team climbed the 130ft natural structure in 1944.
