It is located in front of the Western façade of the Cathedral. It was ordered by the archbishop Raxoi. It was originally used as a seminary for confessors and residence for children of the chorus.
It has a great and elegant Neoclassic facade that is supported by a granite porch with fourteen round arches. In the centre of the façade we can see a gable with a marble relief where the Battle of Clavijo is represented by Gambino and Ferreiro, crowned by the equestrian statue of Santiago.
