"the main building material was local shell rock cut into blocks, quarried in the traditional manner from quarries around the city. Natural conditions and stone quarrying within the city led to the creation of a labyrinth of underground tunnels, known as “catacombs” or “mines”. Their presence can affect structures and limit the height of buildings." (AB eval). Numerous references in the Nom file. NOTE: the tourist entry part is not in the core zone, but the catacombs extend under the inscribed area.
