Downtown Cathedral

The Lancea operate out of a Cathdral in downtown portland, in Chinatown. The Cathdral has two levels, and the basement extends into a strange twisting corridor that leads to the inverted Cathdral. Called the "Mirrored Church," by Lancea Neonates, it was constructed through Bartolomeo invoking a powerful miracle to mirror their existing Cathedral.
The second Cathedral extends underground, and is upside down, with an exact replica of everything that was within the original at the time of the miracle appearing in the replication. In here, the Lancea walk on the ceiling, and stare up at the pews and altars above them, a perverse and twisted showcase to the power of the Lancea. The crucifix, likewise, is the only object that was not created mirrored to the original, as it is still right-side up.
Along the ceiling, the Lancea have still created rooms and subrooms to hold important items, altars, meditation rooms, books, and other sundry goods the Lancea requires for its nightly dealings. Some of the rooms house prisoners, sinful Kindred and Kine both. They're held here until ready to be punished in accordance to Lancea traditions.
The only Kindred who know of the Mirrored Church's existence are those in the Lancea Sanctum, and even many neonates may not be aware of the true extent of the Cathedral, as it is kept a secret until they consider one ready. All prisoners who see the inside of the Mirrored Church, find their memories erased, or meet final death down there. Never has a Kine prisoner lived to tell of what they saw, they are not even worthy of Dominate.
All important rituals are performed in the Mirrored Church, and always out of sight of non-sanctified.
