Nájera. Monasterio de Santa María la Real-Silleria del Coro

Santa Maria la Real Monastery. Choir Stalls
Finally, the monumental entrance to the choir, on the north side, has an ornamental arch over which are carved religious figures arranged to form a kind of pulpit. This access is very strange for a choir stall in Spain which usually has carved doors.There are few known facts about the Najera choir stalls because the ensemble has never been studied in depth. It has been impossible to conduct systematic research due to the loss of most archival documents, as well as die disappearance of some parts of the stalls
