The small cave Jeskyně svatého Ivana (St. Ivan Cave) is located in the church at the village Svatý Jan Pod Skalou (St. John Under the Rock). This is one of the most picturesque villages in the Český Kras southwest of Prague. The houses and the old church are built below a huge white limestone cliff. The church is a cave church, with most of the nave integrated into a huge natural which once formed a shelter at the foot of the limestone cliff.
