Casa do Cabido, attached to the cloister and the Cathedral, is an archaizing building from the first quarter of the century. XVIII. On the upper floor there are remarkable religious sculptures (from the 14th to the 18th centuries). In the old room of the registry office, you can see tile panels by Vital Rifarto. In the large chapter room there is a mass ceiling with paintings by Giovani Battista Pachini (1737), representing fourteen moral allegories, arranged around S. Miguel, patron of Cabido. The tile panels were manufactured in Lisbon, containing hunting scenes. On the middle floor, consisting of four vaulted rooms, the Cathedral's "treasure" is exposed. In nine large showcases you can see objects of jewelery, vestments and liturgical books, related to the cathedral cult.
