Les nefs latérales, moins hautes que la nef centrale, abritent 14 chapelles, dont celle du Rosario, qui comporte un retable gothique permettant d’accéder à l’ancienne sacristie, et de là aux archives de la cathédrale, où sont conservés des ouvrages incunables datant des XIe au XVIe siècle. De même, les chapelles de Lastanosa, mécène de Baltasar Gracián, et de Santo Cristo de los Milagros, qui a guéri la ville de la peste à la fin du XVe siècle, présentent également un grand intérêt.

The inside is luminous. The lateral naves, lower in height than the central one, have 14 chapels. The Rosary chapel with its Gothic altar is one of the most outstanding. It gives onto the old sacristy and, from there, to the Cathedral archives where you will find incunabula from the XI to the XVI centuries. The chapels of Lastanosa – patron of Baltasar Gracián – and the Saintly Christ of the Miracles – whose miracles towards the end of the XV century cured the city of a plague, are both of interest. However, one of the most valuable pieces is its high altar with an extremely beautiful Renaissance altarpiece (1520 to 1534), an alabaster masterpiece sculpted by Damián Forment which represents the Passion of Christ.
