Stone choir

The second great performance of Master Mateo in the cathedral was the construction of a large polychrome stone choir that occupied the first four sections of the cathedral's central nave and which was destroyed in the early years of the 17th century. A partial reconstruction has been carried out in the Cathedral Museum from the recovered remains, along with other pieces exhibited in other rooms.
