    I swear, Yannis has no fear. Has Yannis found a whole different level of construction? Is the convent built on top of an older building? Cool idea.

      Might be an old crypt or a part of an even older building .

    Remember along side the old altar location, there was a section of flooring that looks like it had been filled in? The thought was it may lead to the catacombs under the chapel. Maybe that arch structure was an outside entrance into those catacombs also?
