Description

It is approached from the north down cement steps through a rough artificial stone arch. It is approached from the south through a small roughly circular rockwork area with two pools in the artificial rock floor and no roof. Steps lead down from ground level to another rough arch.

The steps lead to a winding passage lined with artificial rockwork. In the floor of the passage is a narrow rill, which widens into a pool in the central chamber. There is no top lighting, only an occasional hole in the roof to let a small amount of light enter; otherwise this area is completely dark. There are side chambers with fantastic forms and stalactites.
