I like the contrast between the warm light from the crypt and the harsher light in the church

Very nice find. Glad they keep it gated as Dennis says in order to keep them resting in peace. Love the ironwork on the gate.

Jola, I love history and it is so interesting to see the old crypt - and it IS OLD... Thank you for showing this...

they must have been rich, being buried underneath the church
I like the contrast of the yellow and black tape with all the marble
great picture!

Respect for the deceased. Keeping them safe from those who would desecrate the remains. Beautiful gate.
