This is the third time, that Commissione Cavita’ Artificiali SSI, the comission for artifical caves in Italy, visits Jordan for exploration purposes. They give support to the University of Florence. Recently they discovered a cave church with five graves in the wall, probably of Byzantine period, with remains of frescoes and a cross painted.
