The "well" is 27 meters deep with 135 steps. It has 9 levels and a maze of tunnels leading off from the bottom.

And how did it work? Any new mason should build a new section? Or they just threw bad masons down in the well?

Afaik, they led an initiate down and left to find an exit at night without light or something like that. Maybe they went down the stairs on their own, too
