Abstract
Description
The Roman Catholic section of the cave system includes several altars and burial chambers associated with Jerome, Paula, Eustochium, and Eusebius of Cremona. The architecture within the portion of the cave complex controlled by St. Catherine's is a combination of 1960s style and the original primitive cave system.
