The 15th-century Capilla Santiago (Chapel of St. James) in the east end of the cathedral. The Gothic chapel houses the tombs of Don Alvaro de Luna (flanked by Knights of St. James) and his wife Doņa Juana de Pimentel (flanked by Franciscan friars). The altarpiece was created in the 15th century by Sancho de Zamora, Juan de Segovia and Pedro Gumiel, in a Spanish-Flemish style. Entombed around the perimeter are Don Juan de Luna, son of Don Alvaro, Archbishop Don Pedro de Luna, the Archbishop Don Juan de Cerezuela (all 15th century) and Cardinal Boncel y Orbe, who died in 1857.
