History
Crypt with two levels, the upper part was intended to serve as a place of worship, a small square niche in the thickness of the wall may have served as a tabernacle and a rectangular stone as an altar (primitive rib vaults mixed with round arch). The lower level presents itself as a gallery leading to the abbey where there are several vaults.
