I have seen the Kazan Well in pictures, but I had no idea that it is actually an underground church. What's up with its complex construction?

Yes, Kostas, it is indeed underground and its construction is quite complicated because it was built inside a natural cave that already existed a long time ago. The most impressive thing is that it keeps a constant temperature throughout the year, which is why the humidity has not eaten the walls for so many years. When did you see it in the photos?
