La Nueva houses a Renaissance choir stall intricately carved by Rodrigo
Alemán. We are not allowed to take photos. No God would mind so this is odd.
La Vieja was built between the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries and now houses a refurbished museum and cloisters. Photos are allowed here so I have been able to make a record of this beautiful, tranquil and meditative place. Santa Maria de la Blanca presides over it.
The small tower in the background is in the same style as one we have seen in Salamanca. You can just make out the melon on top, which I nearly sliced!
A close up of the medieval stone masonary is shown below.
This is the doorway to la Vieja
