Convento de San Pelayo
The whole of the east side of Plaza de la Quintana is occupied by the sober, almost forbidding, facade of the Convento de San Pelayo, which was given its present aspect in the 18th century. On the north side of the square a grand flight of steps leads to the Plaza de la Inmaculada on the north front of the Cathedral.
