Pamplona - Cathedral - Cloister

A richly gilded doorway in the south aisle, with a beautiful 14th century tympanum ("Death of the Virgin"), gives access to the 14th century cloister, with its tall arches one of the finest in Spain. On the east side is the Capilla Barbazana, with the tomb of its founder, Cardinal Arnaldo de Barbazán (1318-55). On the south side is the 14th century Puerta Preciosa, which leads into the Sala Preciosa, once the meeting-place of the Cortes of Navarre.
