The most significant religious monuments of the palace are the least
conspicuous, for they are entirely underground.  These catacombs are vast
subterranean networks of galleries and chambers, designed as cemeteries for
the burial of the dead.  Consider to be abandoned, evidence of recent
disturbances appears to indicate that they are still in constant use.  In
times of persecution, the catacombs also served as places of concealment for
fugitives, which explains the maze-like construction.  According to local
legend, the catacombs are now occupied by the zealous followers of the Cult
of the Lady.  The narrow passageway continues north, and a small ladder
extends up to the church floor.
