The Romanesque collegiate church consecrated in 1063, carded here for what was added in these years: the present main chapel, replacing the Romanesque one, was begun in 1513, in 1534 Juan de Badajoz el Mozo built the library with the first elliptical vault of the Spanish Renaissance, and in 1574 Juan Ribero de Rada made the prior's staircase. The second cloister, Baroque, dates from 1735. The museum occupies the former royal tribune.
