The necropolis dates primarily from Roman times and, apart from its geographical proximity and the repurposing of its infrastructure, has no connection to the Church of the Five Virgins. These virgins are said to have been martyred here during the Ottoman period; the five water outlets of the spring beneath the large plane tree commemorate them.
