Dean's house and arch

It is one of the most emblematic places of the town. It comes from the XIII Century, when it was planned to build a building that could connect the cathedral with the new dean´ s house, who was the president of the chapter with a rank lower than the prelate.

 

The current arch, very restored, has the form carried out in the XIV Century, and the windowed balcony is its most eye- catching element, with windows with Gothic Mudejar tracery.

 

Nowadays, it is ownership of a financial organization and after its restoration it has become a museum and a residence for distinguished visitors.
