Description

The analysis of the wall structures allows us to reconstruct at least three phases between the Middle Ages and the eighteenth century during which the tuff walls and barrel vaults were built. On the east and west fronts two lowered openings seem to be pertinent to arcosolium tombs probably dating back to the early Christian period. Other rooms dug along the rocky wall seem to have been used for production or as a shelter for animals.
