In 1975 a popular but out-of-date waterfall was demolished on Szent István tér, Pécs. Fortunately, the lovers of the waterfall were compensated for their loss by the discovery of a paleochristian tomb-chapel underneath the former waterfall. Excavation in 1975-76 was followed by the reconstruction and restoration of the frescos. After this painstaking work, the simple, 4^th century AD, one-naved, East-oriented paleochristian building is now open to visitors. Under the superstructure once used as the church there is a crypt, the eastern and northern walls of which are decorated with paintings: the prophet Daniel being thrown to the lions, and Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. There are no paintings on the southern wall of the crypt, instead a statuary marble sarcophagus from the 3^rd century AD. The building had already been extended in the Roman era to provide room for more burials, which indicates that the Szent István tér mausoleum was still in use at the time of the great migrations.
