The church is approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the cave entrance; if confirmed, the tunnel would be the largest in the state of Sergipe. The cave associated with the Grotto of Pedra Furada has been damaged over time by limestone mining. Limestone removal from the site has ended, but the partial destruction is notable. It remains a site of Catholic and Afro-Brazilian religious celebrations. (en)
