28-Apr-2022   /   Basilica de la Sagrada Familia Crypt
This evening we were having dinner across the street from the Familia and I ask a guard outside if the Crypt would be open this evening.
He replied open at 7:15pm. It appears that there is no information that the Crypt is open so there are few tourist inside.

The Crypt is an underground level located beneath the apse.
It is covered by a large vault with a Central Altar.
 images/220428/P42876459.jpg
At the point where the largest arches meet, there is an outstanding sculpted polychrome image of the Annunciation to Mary.

An altarpiece by the sculptor Josep Llimona is located behind the Central Alter.
