The decoration of the latter includes archs and crests of the Reyes Católicos sustained by eagles.
The choir is situated along the foot of the nave. The transept is covered by an octogonal over profusely decorated structures. It is worth mentioning the cloister displaying abundant carved decoration with fantastic animals and floral designs. Opening Times: 10 to 14 and 15.30 to 19
