Cripta de Santa Leocadia, Medieval crypt in Cathedral of San Salvador, Oviedo, Spain
The rectangular crypt features a barrel vault ceiling, measuring 2.30 meters in height, divided into two main spaces with a nave and presbytery.
The crypt construction began under Alfonso III to house the remains of Cordoban martyrs Eulogius and Leocricia, transferred from Muhammad's emirate by Dulcidio.
The presbytery maintains its original flooring and contains a stone altar resting upon the tomb of Dulcidio, marking centuries of religious reverence.
Visitors can access the crypt through two entrances, located on the northern and southern sides of the structure within the Cathedral complex.
Five tombs occupy the crypt space, including four memorial stones and one limestone sarcophagus dating from the late 11th or early 12th century.
