Capilla de las Navas de Tolosa – s. XIV
El templete del lavabo del claustro catedrático ocupa la capilla de las Navas de Tolosa, llamada así porque, según la tradición, la reja que la cerraba había sido construida con parte de las cadenas que rodeaban la tienda del califa Miramamolín al-Nasir y que fueron rotas por el rey navarro Sancho VII el Fuerte, en el curso de la célebre batalla entre cristianos y musulmanes que tuvo lugar en 1212. En realidad, la advocación original de esta capilla era la del Monte Olivete.
