The crypt of Leyre is a crypt to use. It becomes groundwater or no evidence that it has never intended to be a burial place. Noted for its size and height, as well as for its large capitals, which are raised on small columns.
It was built to level the ground where the church would rise up and serve as a foundation to it. It is square in shape following the shape of the head of the temple, so it has three circular apses and four identical ships covered by barrel vaults. One of them is newer than the rest, to be in that place the staircase connecting the church with the crypt. It was built of limestone with quartz and iron, which has given him a strength that has allowed her good condition.
The crypt was designed with three ships. However, the central nave finally split in two by the central axial arch, resulting in the four ships that can now be admired. This change influenced the design of the central apse.
Large capitals are what keep the weight of the head of the temple. They are all different, both in size and decoration pattern. Some have huge picture rails and they form a forest of pillars of triple knuckle and transverse reinforcing peraltadísimos vaulted naves. The decor is simple, based on animal and geometric themes. The crypt, next to the church was consecrated in 1057 .
The entrance to the crypt, the oldest of all the monastery, is a Romanesque nascent, very sober and rude. It consists of three overlapping arches and sequenced directly support the imposts, whose only decoration is the bezel that have given the archivolts .
Next to the crypt is the tunnel of San Virila communicating with the crypt through three small narrow windows that open on the west wall of the same. This tunnel out of the monastery served as the surrounding countryside. Today is blinded and his background is a picture of the seventeenth century , San Virila, abbot of the monastery during the tenth century . This character is the local hero a legend, given by way of Santiago, in which God makes him understand the mystery of eternity.
