El Burgo de Osma - Cathedral

The Capilla Mayor has a beautiful retablo (1552-56) by Juan de Juni and his pupil Picardo. The wrought-iron choir screen (16th C.) was the work of Juan Francés. In the north aisle is the painted limestone tomb of San Pedro de Osma (13th C.). The finest of the chapels is the Baroque Capilla de Palafox, by Juan de Villanueva, who also designed the 18th century New Sacristy. The Old Sacristy has remains of Romanesque wall paintings.

The Cathedral Museum has a large collection of vestments and liturgical utensils; but it is surpassed by the valuable collection of miniatures in the Library. Here the greatest treasure is a copy (1086) of a commentary on the Apocalypse by a monk named Beatus of Liébana.
