Behind the door with a lancet-shaped pointed profile, we enter a weird and surprising space. It is a dysfunctional room of great height. To the left, the enormous wall finished off in the shape of a pinion is the one that closes off the building to the east. It is the wall that put a premature end to the Gothic work and connected it with the Romanesque. Hence, before our eyes we are contemplating the upper part of the barrel vaults of the three Romanesque ante-apses. These were reconstructed during the major restoration carried out in the fifties of the last century. To our right, the second heavy wall, already built over the access arches to the apse chapels, serves to underpin the roofs of the building. These would cover the Romanesque apses and the gallery surrounding the vaults.

Let’s continue walking. Through a small door that opens to our right reach the eastern end of the complex on this level. We always move onwards to the left of the line of lights that marks the 1.80 m. height of the slope of the roofs. Watch out for your heads.
When we reach the Romanesque vaults press number 15.
