Capilla Barbazana
- S. XIV
La capilla Barbazana ocupa el tradicional lugar monástico de la Sala Capitular, aunque desde el comienzo tuvo el carácter de capilla funeraria dedicada al obispo Arnaldo de Barbazán, cuya efigie yacente, realizada en torno a 1355, ocupa el centro. Al fondo está la talla gótica (1355) de la Virgen del Consuelo, procedente del Refectorio. Es notable la bóveda y su escultura; bajo la capilla queda la cripta gótica. En las jambas de la portada se colocaron hacia 1340 las tallas en piedra de San Pedro y San Pablo. La capilla se había comenzado en 1335.

Barbazana Chapel
- XIVth century
The Barbazana Chapel takes up the traditional monastic place of the Chapterhouse, although from the outset it had the character of a chantry chapel dedicated to Bishop Arnaldo de Barbazán, whose recumbent effigy made around 1355 lies in the centre. On the back wall is the Gothic carving, made in 1355, of the Virgin of Consolation, which was originally in the refectory. The vaulting and sculpture are worthy of note. Under the chapel is the Gothic crypt. The stone sculptures of St. Peter and St. Paul were set up on the door jambs around 1340. The chapel must have been begun in 1335.
