Organ

In the central nave of the Cathedral, above the canonical choir stalls on the Gospel side, you can see the organ chest designed in the form of a magnificent retable standing 20 metres high and 9 metres wide.

The design of the chest is an adaptation by the architect Jaume Amigó of the initial design submitted in 1561 by Perris Arrabasa and Salvador Estrada, organists from Barcelona. The whole of the sculptural ensemble is the work of Jeroni Sanxo and Perris Ostris, and was begun in 1562 and completed in 1567.

Its three sections are carved out of Flanders oak, cypress, poplar, elm and yew and closely follow the stylistic canons of the Plateresque Renaissance following the classical order, and featuring decorative medallions and the characteristic horror vacui, all created with exceptional virtuosity.

The three cloths or hangings that concealed the pipes of the tribune or cadireta showing the images of the Virgin Mary, St. Thecla and St. Catherine have been conserved, as have the supports enclosing the central section of the chest and showing the mystery of the nativity of Jesus and his resurrection. And the three paintings in the loft depicting the three theological virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity. The series was commissioned by the Cathedral Chapter and created by the painters Pere Serafí and Pietro Paolo de Montalbergo between 1563 and 1565.
