Notes

At least three phases of building; what is shown is the earliest phase dated to 4th century CE, currently underground and discovered in 1907. The bell tower dates to the 12th century, and the current facade and interior was built in 1620s on top of the 12th century church. Geographic coordinates recorded here are fixed to the location of the superstructure for all the panoramas of the substructure.
