FAÇADE CAVE No. 5.—AJUNTA.
NUMBER 5 is a small Cave with no remarkable peculiarity about it, and unfinished, so that it is impossible to be quite certain of its age, but as the series of Caves seem to have gradually extended from the central groups towards the extremities, it may probably rank next in time to the last described. On careful examination, however, it will be seen that its pillars, though of the same order as the next in succession, No. 4, are so inferior in design that it may probably be an insertion of a later date, and its unfinished state would also lead to the supposition that it may be among those last attempted at this place.
