1. The Courtyard of a Thousand Years Marker
El antiguo arcedianato, lugar donde se econtraba la casa del arcediano de table, canónigo encargado de suministrar los alimentos, dio paso a unas viviendas “modernas” que hicieron posible un amplio espacio abierto. Este sugerente ámbito permite contemplar, además de las torres de la catedral, los exteriores góticos del sur del templo, en parte ocultos por la trasera de un viejo caserón; el conjunto románico de la cillería con su portada del siglo XII y los dos torreones prerrománicos, el exterior de la cocina y refectorio, góticos del siglo XIV. Toda una visión histórica con una secuencia de construcciones sucesiva, quizá de mil años, que sorprende y retiene al visitante como un espacio inesperado y oculto.

The Courtyard of a Thousand Years
The old Archdeaconry, place where the house of the Archdeacon of table, canon charge of food supply was, gave way to some "modern" apartments which created a wide open space. This space provides views of, in addition to the cathedral towers, of the Gothic exterior of the south side (partly hidden by the back of a large old rambling house), the Romanesque complex of the larder with its XIIth century façade and the two Pre-Romanesque towers, and the outside of the kitchen and the refectory (XIVth century Gothic). The whole is a historical vision, with a sequence of construction over perhaps one thousand years, one which surprises and holds the visitor's attention as an unexpected and hidden space.
