Introduction

At the back of the Chapter Hall, behind a neoclassical lintel, is the chapel of the relics, circular in shape, where three large cabinets open.

On its doors are represented the scenes where the relic of the Holy Thorn was given by Saint Louis of France, that of the Holy Chalice (it was preserved in the central cabinet until 1916) and that of the other relics of the House of Aragon by Alfonso the Magnanimous.
