Merida - Day 5 - Basilica of Sta. Eulalia

Today we headed to the Basilica of Santa Eulalia. There is a crypt there.  On top of the crypt was built a Roman Villa. Then on top of that was built the Basilica and you can view all the different layers. The combination €7,50 ticket covers the crypt. The church is an extra €2 but to us was very much worth it to see the inside. That small contribution helps with the upkeep. Here are a few photos.

Jesus’ feet are black from the devoted touching and kissing them. 

The beauty of the statues blow my mind. 

Santiago!

We saw many people, young and old, stop at this street shrine to pray
