Descriptions

the Church of St. Antoine parish house. This is 1st century
construction except for the shaft and a small area by it.

church, blocked by rubble. There is a rusted jackhammer and
other construction tools here circa 20th century.
- Tomb of St. Antoine
- This is original 1st century construction. There is a tomb for
St. Antoine, with a marble sarcophagus.

- Vault Room
- There is an unmarked room with two doors off of it, each one
locked with a simple 19th/20th century lock.
- Cave Entrance
- There was a dead end in the original construction: a brick wall
with painted plaster over it. When broken down, this leads to a
cave tunnel which leads to a larger cavern.
