The place where the current church stands is special and has traditionally been called 'the Holy City'. If you look at the aerial photo (Google), you will see an interrupted segment of a circle in the shadow of the church. This segment of a circle lies as an elevation against the north side of this church. This segment appears to be part of the hill on which the medieval church stood.
